Under the project which is funded by the European Union (EU) and jointly implemented by UNDP and Ilbank, a “Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Climate Action Plan” was prepared for Hatay Metropolitan Municipality, and “Hatay Provincial Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Climate Action Plan Report” was also introduced at the event. As the project aims to assist the Metropolitan Municipality in reducing GHG and carbon emissions, eliminate environmental and health problems arising from solid waste and waste water, and formulating plans, policies and practices for climate adaptation, this specific work was undertaken by the Municipal Services Delivery Unit of UNDP Syria Crisis Response and Resilience Programme. The action plan and report intend to prepare Hatay for achieving the goals defined in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as the fundamental international instrument on climate action.
