Çankaya Municipality
The “Building a Climate Change Resilient City through Empowering Women” project funded within the context of the Town Twinning Action Between Turkey and the EU Grant Scheme was implemented by Çankaya Municipality with the technical support of the Nature Conservation Centre (DKM) and in partnership with Frankfurt Municipality and the Association of Women Mukhtars. The overall goal of the project was to combat climate change in urban areas through training and empowering women to become active pioneers in climate-related issues and projects. The project focused on creating an enabling environment where women are effectively integrated into local decision-making processes and duly considered in climate change policies.
