Located on the southern coast of the Sea of Marmara in northwestern Turkey, Bandırma is a port and industrial city that plays an important role in regional transport and trade. With strong ferry, logistics and manufacturing connections linking Istanbul, Bursa and western Anatolia, the city has grown steadily around its harbour and industrial zones. Bandırma has a transitional Mediterranean climate, with warm summers, mild winters and increasing exposure to heatwaves, coastal flooding and extreme weather linked to changing climate conditions around the Marmara region.
Climate action in Bandırma is closely tied to industrial activity, mobility and coastal resilience. Port operations, transport emissions and energy-intensive industries create pressure on air quality and carbon emissions, while urban growth is increasing demand for infrastructure and public services. At the same time, the city’s coastal location makes adaptation to rising temperatures and storm-related risks increasingly important.
Key priorities include cleaner transport, energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energy into local development. Bandırma is also working to strengthen coastal protection and expand greener urban areas that can help reduce heat and improve quality of life. Its approach reflects the challenges faced by medium-sized industrial port cities seeking to balance economic growth with environmental resilience and long-term sustainability.
