Antalya

Antalya is a major coastal city in southern Türkiye, located along the Mediterranean Sea and known for its tourism sector, rapid urban growth and surrounding natural landscapes. The city has a hot Mediterranean climate, with long, dry summers and mild winters, and is increasingly exposed to heatwaves, drought, wildfires and pressure on water resources.

As one of the country’s leading tourism destinations, Antalya faces the challenge of balancing economic activity with environmental sustainability. Seasonal population peaks place additional demand on energy, water and transport systems, while urban expansion continues to reshape the coastline and surrounding areas. Climate action is therefore closely linked to both resilience and sustainable growth.

The municipality is working to reduce emissions through improvements in public transport, energy efficiency and renewable energy, while also promoting more sustainable urban development. At the same time, adaptation measures are a key priority, particularly in relation to water management, heat mitigation and the protection of natural ecosystems.

Antalya’s approach reflects its dual role as a global tourism hub and a rapidly developing city. Through collaboration with public institutions, businesses and local stakeholders, the city is building a pathway towards climate neutrality that supports long-term resilience, protects its natural assets and maintains quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
