A Design of Pilot Emission Trading Scheme for Turkey under Evolution of Global Climate Regime Doctoral Thesis Summary

Farı. Taşdan

A decade long climate negotiations under global climate regime since signature of Kyoto Protocol could not achieve to prolong the protocol on world scale for the second commitment of Kyoto Protocol. Contrary, the result has been limited both on scale of target and inclusiveness which triggered an evolution of climate regime toward more localization and interpretation of individual countries. Although Turkey is listed under Annex I of the UNFCCC which means having responsibilities in emissions and expected to have ambitious target to reduce it, she has avoided having liabilities to reduce emission under Kyoto Protocol based on argumentation of being a developing country. However, the world climate policies are evolving from global perspective to more local reactions. It is now expected, regardless of development level, that all countries take steps to reduce emissions.
