“…Consequently, the pursuit of sustainable development implies establishing modern culture firstly on adaptation and current risk perception, secondly on enhanced governance of contemporary risks and thirdly on increasing adaptive capacity. With regards to the cultural sustainability this means promoting local and global resilience in response to the supranational risks, such as climate change, severely threatening the livelihood and everyday lives of people in very varied circumstances (see Hvinden and Schoyen, 2022).…”

Cultural sustainability relates to sustainable development. According to UNESCO “culture provides the necessary transformative dimension that ensures the sustainability of development processes.” Originally sustainable development was defined through three dimensions-ecological, economic and social dimension. Further, the social dimension has been understood in multiple ways often accentuating socio-economic assets of development rather than socio-cultural capacities. Eventually, there has been an increasing interest in defining cultural sustainability as a fourth pillar of sustainable development. While becoming aware of the contemporary supranational risks such as climate change, COVID 19-pandemia or escalating military conflicts, sustainable development can hardly be envisioned in terms of linear progress but rather considered with anticipation of eventual shocks, interruptions, and vulnerabilities related to development. In this perspective, cultural sustainability can be increasingly associated with identifying vulnerabilities and with envisioning attainable measures of adaptation. This article addresses the complex issue of defining cultural sustainability through lenses of social resilience and adaptive capacity at local level.

In this article, we examine the current state of climate change and social policy in Turkey. Turkey is geographically located in one of the world's most vulnerable regions to the effects of climate change. However, it has been slow to implement concrete policy measures in response to climate change. Policies similar to international efforts to intervene in climate change have been adopted, and institutions have been established, particularly since the early 2000s. However, little consideration is given to the impact of this urgent problem on social policies and the role of social policies in addressing it. This article examines the difficulties Turkey faces in addressing climate change, including political and economic barriers, as well as the various social and environmental effects of the problem on the population. Finally, the article concludes by discussing the responsibilities in the climate change action plan from a social policy standpoint.
