Manisa

Manisa is a growing city in western Türkiye, located in the Aegean region near İzmir and surrounded by fertile agricultural land. The city has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, and is increasingly facing climate-related challenges such as heatwaves, drought and pressure on water resources.

With a strong industrial base and an important role in agriculture, Manisa’s climate transition is closely tied to both economic activity and natural resource management. Energy use in industry, irrigation needs and urban expansion are key drivers of emissions, while water availability is becoming a critical concern for long-term resilience.

The municipality is working to integrate climate action into urban development, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy and more sustainable mobility. Efforts to improve waste management, protect green areas and enhance environmental quality are complemented by measures to address heat and water stress.

Manisa’s approach reflects the need to balance growth, industry and environmental sustainability. Through cooperation with businesses, public institutions and local stakeholders, the city is building a pathway towards climate neutrality that supports economic development while strengthening resilience to a changing climate.
