Comparative analysis of public policies in climate change within the context of policy transfer

Climate change debates and policy making efforts -despite criticism of being inadequate- have recently covered the agenda of many policy actors such as governments, non-governmental organizations, private sector and international organizations. Among these actors, G20 members can be a policy R&D center that will set an example for the rest of the world due to their strong economic and human capital. In this context, the climate policy outputs (climate laws, regulations, strategy documents) of the G-20 countries were analyzed with the content analysis methodology through the framework of the policy orientations created within the scope of the research and the benchmark countries in the climate change were determined as a result of the multi-criteria analysis. Afterwards, Turkey's climate change policy outputs were analyzed within the framework of policy orientations, compared with successful G20 countries in this area, differences were identified, policy transfer opportunities and policy recommendations for Turkey were discussed.
