What is Environmental
Protection?
 Environmental Protection is a practice of protecting the
environment on individual,governmental and
organizational level for the benefits for humanity and
natural environment
 ?=The usage of fossil fuels,deforestation,high carbondioxide emission, and etc.
Main Priority for Environmental
Protection;
 Combating climate change.
 Preserving bio-diversity
 Reducing health problems from pollution
 Unconscious usage of Fossil Fuels
What is Climate Change?
 “Climate Change” effects more than just a change in the
weather, it refers to seasonal changes over a long period
of time.
Earth is getting Warmer
Why Environmental Protection
important?
 The world renew itself but it takes a long time
 The quality of air decreases
 We haven’t got any land for living
 Water quality declines
 Ecosystem affected badly
 Limited Resources
What is the role of
European Union in
Environmental
Protection?
Big Conferences, Treaties about E.P.
Single European Act: basic law came. however did not
mention about the sustainability.
2. 1992 Maastcriht Treaty: given the status field of
environmental policy, and "sustainable development"
concept was officially formed in EU law.
3. 1997 Treaty of Amsterdam:The concept of sustainable
development has become one of the main objectives of the
EU.
4. 2000 Treaty of Nice: The place of environmental protection
explicitly stressed in new European order
5. Environmental Action Plans was completed in1973 to the
present.6th Environmental Action Plan was prepared
in2002

What the EU is doing?
 European Union has; highest environmental standarts in
the world.
 European Union make many investments in this topic.
 Since the 1990s, many studies done on climate change
 EU governments have also set aside more than €2.7
billion for investments in emission-saving projects
European Climate Change
Programme
 Launched in 2000
 Apply to all applications in the Kyoto protocol
 Strategy;to limit carbon dioxide (CO2)
 Improve energy efficiency
Emissions Trading Scheme
 Launched in 2005
 Works on “cap and trade”
 gives a financial incentive to reduce emissions by
establishing a market-based trading system
 the 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and
Norway
Johannesburg Renewable Energy
Coalition
 Agreed by Heads of State at the 2002 World Summit for
Sustainable Development (WSSD)
 There were 66 founding members
 JREC Members focus on international, regional, and
national political initiatives that help fostering an
enabling policies for the promotion renewable energy.
 JREC supported by community, International companies,
NGOs
The "20-20-20" targets
 A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least
20% below 1990 levels
 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable
resources
 A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with
projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy
efficiency.
Indicators
Wind, Solar, Hydro Energy sources
and; air pollution
What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable Energy
 Solar energy
 Wind energy
 Hydro energy
Solar Energy
Solar panel
Photovoltaic (PV) cells
Advantages of solar energy
 Infiniteness
 No environmental pollution
 Easily affordable
 Decrease in bills
Disadvantages of solar energy
 Cost
 Days with no sunlight
Wind energy
Wind turbines
Advantages of Wind Energy
 Infiniteness
 No environmental pollution
 Undisturbed agricultural activities
Disadvantages of Wind Energy
 Cost
 Days with no wind
 Large wind farms
 Noise
 Harmful for animals
Hydro Energy
Hydro energy dams
Advantages of Hydro Energy
 Control
 Continuity
 No environmental pollution
Disadvantages of Hydro Energy
 Cost
 Habitat to be disturbed
 Need for certain amount of water
Air Pollution
 What is greenhouse effect?
Causes of greenhouse effect
 Fuel
 Deforestation
 Industrial gases
 Overpopulation
Impacts of greenhouse effect
 Climate change
 Natural disasters
 Shortage of food supply
Potential solution
Decrease in “carbon footprint”

Today, Denmark is a world leader in wind turbine
production and has a very big wind power..!!
Now in Denmark, Renewable energy covers 14 % of gross
energy consumption and over 28 % of the electricity
generated. (Danish Energy Athority Report, 2010)
20 % of Denmark electricity generation comes
from wind power.
Denmark have failed to reduce
their own emissions.
Sweden
Sweden has the greatest renewable energy in all European
countries.
Sweden has set their target at 50 percent renwable energy
by 2020,
In 2009, 47,7 percent of Sweden’s total energy supplied was
renewable energy.

POLAND
Nature has bestowed Poland generously renewable resources.
Wind and Solar energy, are used more and more frequently, their
growing popularity supported by great advances in technology.
However, Biomass is now the largest source of clean power in Poland,
15 % share of RES on the final
consumption of energy in 2020.
Poland supports renwable energy
in everywhere and every time.

Poland’s GHG emissions were 32.0 %

MALTA
Malta is totally dependent upon imported fossil
fuels for its energy needs.
Renewable energy could be used effective in the
island however it cost very high.
It is the worst for renewable energy uses in
European cuntries.
Its aim is to catch the 10% for 20 20 20 target.
Wind and solar energy is high.
CO2 emissions (kt) in Malta
Carbon dioxide emissions are stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and
the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during
consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring. Malta is a small,
island economy in the Mediterranean. Malta is dependent on foreign trade
(serving as a freight trans-shipment point), manufacturing (electronics and
textiles), tourism and financial services.
TURKEY
Today, Turkey’s economy is mainly dependent on oil,and
natural gas. On the other hand, it is a rich country for the
renewable energ resources
It has the 8% of the geothermal energy potential in the
world.
The aim is : to decrease of 3% in the country's energy
dependence
