Mersin is a fast-growing coastal city on Türkiye’s Mediterranean coast, known for its port, agricultural production and strategic role in trade and logistics. With a warm Mediterranean climate, long hot summers and increasing exposure to drought, heatwaves and coastal risks, the city is already experiencing many of the pressures associated with climate change.
As an important transport and economic hub, Mersin faces growing energy demand, urban expansion and pressure on natural resources. Climate action in the city is closely linked to sustainable urban growth, water management and the transition to cleaner transport and energy systems. The municipality is working to balance economic development with the need to reduce emissions and strengthen resilience.
Mersin has been investing in sustainable mobility, waste management, renewable energy and greener public spaces, while also focusing on adaptation measures linked to heat and water scarcity. The city’s coastal location makes resilience planning particularly important, especially in relation to infrastructure, ecosystems and long-term urban development.
Through cooperation with public institutions, universities, businesses and local communities, Mersin is building a more integrated approach to climate action. By connecting climate goals with economic transformation and quality of life, the city aims to position itself as a resilient and forward-looking Mediterranean city on the path towards climate neutrality.
