Muğla

Muğla is a coastal province and metropolitan municipality in south-western Türkiye, known for its long Mediterranean coastline, tourism destinations and rich natural landscapes. The region has a hot Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers and mild winters, and is increasingly affected by climate-related risks such as heatwaves, drought, water scarcity and wildfires.

Tourism, agriculture and seasonal population growth place significant pressure on local infrastructure and natural resources, particularly during the summer months. Climate action in Muğla is therefore closely connected to protecting ecosystems, managing water sustainably and ensuring that economic development remains compatible with environmental resilience.

The municipality is working to reduce emissions through actions in sustainable mobility, renewable energy, waste management and energy efficiency, while also strengthening adaptation measures linked to coastal resilience, wildfire prevention and biodiversity protection. Preserving forests, coastlines and natural habitats is a central part of the city’s climate approach.

Muğla’s strategy reflects the realities of a region where climate change directly affects both livelihoods and landscapes. Through cooperation with local communities, businesses and public institutions, the city is building a pathway towards climate neutrality that supports resilience, sustainable tourism and the long-term protection of its natural environment.
