Çorum

Çorum is a growing city in north-central Türkiye, located in the Black Sea region’s interior and surrounded by agricultural landscapes and industrial zones. The city has a continental climate, with hot summers, cold winters and increasing exposure to drought, heatwaves and changing precipitation patterns linked to climate change.

As an important regional centre for agriculture and manufacturing, Çorum faces the challenge of balancing economic growth with sustainable resource management. Energy use, industrial activity and transport contribute to emissions, while water availability and environmental resilience are becoming more pressing concerns for both urban and rural communities.

The municipality is working to strengthen climate action through improvements in energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable mobility and urban planning. Efforts to expand green spaces and improve environmental infrastructure are also helping the city adapt to rising temperatures and changing climate conditions.

Çorum’s approach reflects the need for practical, locally grounded solutions that support both development and resilience. Through collaboration with public institutions, businesses and local stakeholders, the city is building capacity for a lower-carbon future while improving quality of life and environmental sustainability.
