The battle against climate change can not be

won without the world’s forests.”

Ban Ki-moon

General Secretary of UN

Our policy regarding unproductive forests is to rehabilite these areas and convert to productive forests. Therefore we prepare an action plan regarding these areas, which called “Afforestation And Erosion Control Mobilization Action Plan 2008-20012”. According to this plan 2,3 million hectar area will be

rehabilitated and forested. This plan based on:

1-Rehabilitation- 1.5 million ha 2-Afforestation -250.000 ha 3- Erosion Control- 400 000 ha

4- Rangeland Rehabilitation- 150.000 ha. This study covers the rehabilitation

greatly.

(13)

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation aims to transform the degraded forests into productive (normal) high

forests with the minimum effort and cost, by maintaining the habitat stocks on-site

without destroying forest ecosystem.

The principles of rehabilitation are:

- to preserve all current vegetation

- to preserve forest ecosystem with current fauna and flora

EROSION CONTROL

85% of the our lands are subject to erosion problems due to: - Excessive destruction of the forests

- Destruction of rangelands - Over-grazing

In the next 5 years period, approximately 400 000 ha areas will subject to the erosion control.

(17)

In Turkey, more than 7 million people live in forest villages and their livelihoods depend on forestry activities. They work for rehabilitation and afforestration activities and they get paid.

GD of Forestry have prepared rehabilitation plans for tree species.

CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS

(20)

Climate Change Effects

• 4th. Assesment Report of IPCC states, Turkey is located in the

Mediterranean Basin, an area which will be affected most severely by

climate change.

• Climate change had an additional impact on our existing problems of

desertification and water scarcity.

• Fire season comes earlier and lasts longer,

• Fires are more destructive,

• The warmer winters affect water supplies,

• The droughty forest soil makes trees more vulnerable to fire and

insects.

Turkey Position in the context of UNFCCC

(22)

Turkey’s Legal Status UNFCCC&KP

Turkey became a party to the United Nation on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since 24 May 2004, after the decision 26/CP.7 ()

Turkey is a party to the Kyoto Protokol since 26 August 2009. The decision 26/CP.7; The Conference of the Parties,

 Decides to amend the list in Annex II to the Convention by deleting the name of Turkey;

 Invites the Parties to recognize the special circumstances of Turkey, which place Turkey, after becoming a Party, in a situation different from that of other Parties included in Annex I to the Convention.

What we have done so far?

(31)

31

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) is the National Focal

Point on climate change and is the coordinating governmental body for all

issues related to climate change in Turkey.

To maintain UNFCCC requirements, Coordination Board on Climate Change

was established.

Under the Board, 10 Technical Working Groups were established.

One of these working group is LULUCF and GD of Forestry has coordinated

LULUCF working group since 2008.

Coordination Board on Climate Change

LULUCF Working Group

•Climate Change working group was established in the GD of Forestry. •CCWG web site was established http://www.ogm.gov.tr/iklim/index.htm.

•we could share all information and improvements regarding climate change through this web site.

•FAO’s publication & IPCC Good Practice Guidence were translated to Turkish and published this web site.

• A side event was organized on

Forest Day inPoznan (COP 14) & a

booklet was prepared regarding

this event.

According to Turkey’s GHG inventory datas, Forestry sector

removes about 72 % of the total removals from LULUCF

Our projects

We have prepare a few project proposals which are;

1- Promoting Sustainable Forest Management and Carbon Forestry in Turkey founded by GEF (3.5 milion $).

2- Climate Sensitive Management Of Forest Ecosystem in Turkey ,founded by Germany (6 million €)

3- Carbon Project, cooperate with Department of Research and Development of MoEF, founded by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.

4-Production of Pellet And Cips From Forest Residues, founded by Holand (3

million €)

5-Genarate Energy From Forest Residues, cooperate with Middle East Technical University and The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.
