Taking inventory of greenhouse arising from İstanbulprovi̇ince Sancaktepe Municipality services and determiningmitigation strategies

The industrialization that comes with the increasing population causes air pollution, leads to an increase in global temperature and poses a worldwide threat to the continuation of vital activities on earth. Minimizing and controlling climate change has become imperative to leave a healthier environment for future generations. In this context, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) opened the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for signature in 1992 in Rio against the effects of global warming on the climate. As a party to this international convention in 2004, Turkey started to implement the necessary policies for the solution of the problem. In this thesis, the greenhouse gas inventory arising from the service works of Sancaktepe Municipality was calculated by using the data of 2021. In addition, the studies of Sancaktepe Municipality on the problems caused by climate change and the determination of greenhouse gas reduction strategies were emphasized. Emissions in this study, which was carried out using the methods given in the IPCC 2006 guidelines, were calculated as Scope 1 and Scope 2 as in the global protocol. According to the greenhouse gas emission data calculated in this study, 54.78% of the greenhouse gas originating from the works of Sancaktepe Municipality is electricity, 32.53% is transportation and 12.69% is natural gas emissions. Again, according to these results, electricity consumption is 2.534.31 tons CO2 e/m3, diesel consumption is 1.486,815 tons CO2 e/m3, gasoline consumption is 18.34 tons CO2 e/m3 and natural gas consumption is 587,307 tons CO2 e/m3 greenhouse gas. emission was observed.
