Diyarbakır is a major city in south-eastern Türkiye, located along the Tigris River and known for its historic walls and cultural heritage. The city has a hot, dry climate, with very high summer temperatures and increasing pressure from drought and water scarcity. Rapid urban growth and demographic change add further strain on infrastructure and natural resources.
Climate action in Diyarbakır is closely tied to resilience and basic urban services. Managing water, reducing heat stress and improving living conditions in a growing city are central challenges. At the same time, there is a need to address emissions from buildings, transport and energy use, while ensuring that development remains inclusive and sustainable.
The municipality is working to strengthen environmental management through measures in waste, water, green spaces and urban planning, alongside efforts to improve energy efficiency and promote more sustainable mobility. Expanding and protecting green infrastructure plays an important role in addressing both heat and quality of life.
Diyarbakır’s approach reflects the realities of a rapidly developing city facing climate pressure. By combining practical interventions with longer-term planning and cooperation with local stakeholders, the city is building a pathway towards greater resilience and a more sustainable, low-carbon future.
