The Turkey Energy Outlook (TEO) proposes energy policies to further improve energy security, increase use of domestic energy resources, advance energy efficiency, build clean energy infrastructure, develop a more competitive energy market with cost-reflective energy pricing and also to support all necessary steps towards achieving a sustainable energy system in Turkey. The main themes include increased energy efficiency, higher use of renewable energy, improving electricity and natural gas markets, building Turkey’s first nuclear power plants, increased energy technology R&D and continuing and expanding the recent efforts to discover and produce more natural gas and oil. Turkey’s per capita energy and electricity consumption are less than half of the OECD average. As a country that is still developing, compared to Turkey’s OECD peers, the growth of energy services per capita will be much higher. This is necessary to accommodate increasing incomes, population growth, industrialization, urbanization, increased mobility and wider access to modern energy services. The Turkey Energy Outlook (TEO) provides an independent assessment of changing technological opportunities and policy priorities to secure an efficient, competitive and sustainable energy future. Two TEO Scenarios quantify the consequences of two different policy pathways out to 2040.

Climate change is no longer a subject of scientific and academic importance; the well-being of the earth and human race is deeply dependent on it. With rapid growth of population and accelerated urbanization, the limited resources of earth have come under great stress. Climate Change and Sustainable Transport provides a comprehensive knowledge about the different dimensions of climate system, climate change and role of transport in climate change, its genesis and different migration options. The book will help to develop an overview on the multifaceted, interdependent complexities involved between climate change and transportation. The chapters have been so-developed that they present a broad overview of the relevance of sustainable transport system in the context of environment and climate change which determines how sustainability needs to be an underlining part of the policy framework and infrastructural development. Inclusion of case studies based on the traffic scenarios of Delhi-NCR and transport scenario of India, as a whole, has imparted practicality to the text. The book will be relevant to the researchers, policymakers, administrators, policy planners, students, teachers, and general public at large and help them in discussing, disseminating, and propagating the work to inform political and societal decision-makers in identifying problems and offering solutions that can be widely implemented in the larger public interest. Climate Change and Sustainable Transportation will also help readers identify different facets of this complex subject and the responsible role it plays in the socio-economic development of a country.
