Turkey

The objectives of the Flood and Drought Management Project are to increase flood control for people living in selected areas of Türkiye and to strengthen the country's institutional capacity for flood and drought risk management. There are four components to the project, the first component being Flood Management. This component includes two subcomponents: flood control, and flood monitoring, forecasting, and warning systems. The second component is the drought management.

This project aims to strengthen Türkiye’s institutional capacity for integrated fire management and enhance the resilience of forests and communities to wildfires. Key activities include wildfire risk reduction, capacity building, restoration of fire-affected landscapes, and support for rapid response during emergencies.

This project aims to enhance the efficiency, environmental sustainability, and competitiveness of select Organized Industrial Zones (OIZs) in Turkey. Activities include investments in green infrastructure, innovation centers, and technical assistance to strengthen institutional capacity.

Investments will include a variety of green infrastructure measures, sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices, and livelihoods diversification. Green infrastructure will be designed in conjunction with gray infrastructure to optimize the functionality, cost-effectiveness, and resilience of the integrated natural and built system.

The project will use green infrastructure, such as green roofs and green spaces to reduce energy consumption, but also reduce flooding.

The project will use green roofs for public buildings to reduce urban heat island effect.
