Analyzing vulnerability and resilience of Turkey to climate change

Abstract

The continued challenges in public health programs and in particular the dearth of tested approaches that hinges on systems thinking approach, holistic planning and implementation with all relevant stakeholder calls for newer approaches in public health leadership. This work advances a unified leadership theory drawn from skills approach, high coaching and high directive behavior and system thinking approach. The unified leadership approach underscored key leadership themes: system thinking, vision, power sharing, process based and collateral leaderships. It is expected that such a multi-prong approach will strengthen holistic planning with input from all concerned partners, facilitate clarity of roles and balancing of power so that it will improve coordination, collaboration, commitment, program sustainability and oversight function that will result in effective public health interventions.

Understanding the Climate-Conflict-Migration Nexus: Immigration from Climate-Conflict Zones to Turkey

“…Climate models and climate-induced damage are generally the focus of these studies. Furthermore, some studies address the effects of climate change in Turkey such as impacts on health (Şeker et al, 2020), the resilience infrastructure of Turkey (The World Bank, 2019), vulnerabilities and resilience (Ulku, 2014), potential effects of climate change on energy, tourism, forests, water resources and living conditions (Sen et al, 2017;Şen, 2013), and societal perception (KONDA, 2019). To the best of our knowledge, there is no other study that tries to analyse the migration from climate-affected South Asian countries to Turkey based on limited data using the Foresight Model.…”
