2What 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 carbon-dioxide emission, and etc.

What is Environmental Protection?:: doal evre ve insanlk yararna rgtsel,toplumsal ya da devlet dzeyinde yaplan almalardr.3Main Priority for Environmental Protection;

Combating climate change.Preserving bio-diversityReducing health problems from pollutionUnconscious usage of Fossil Fuels

4What 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.5Earth is getting Warmer

Earth is getting warmer by virtually every measure we know, and the temperature has been well above normal for more than 25 years. Although increases of approximately 1C over the last century or so may not sound very threatening, remember thats a global average. The warming is stronger over land than over oceans and in the higher latitudes than in the tropics.

6Why Environmental Protection important?The world renew itself but it takes a long timeThe quality of air decreasesWe havent got any land for livingWater quality declinesEcosystem affected badlyLimited Resources

What is the role of European Union in Environmental Protection?8Big Conferences, Treaties about E.P.Single European Act: basic law came. however did not mention about the sustainability.1992 Maastcriht Treaty: given the status field of environmental policy, and "sustainable development" concept was officially formed in EU law.1997 Treaty of Amsterdam:The concept of sustainable development has become one of the main objectives of the EU.2000 Treaty of Nice: The place of environmental protection explicitly stressed in new European order Environmental Action Plans was completed in1973 to the present.6th Environmental Action Plan was prepared in2002

9What 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 changeEU governments have also set aside more than 2.7 billion for investments in emission-saving projects

ECCP==The goal of the ECCP is to identify and develop all the necessary elements of an EU strategy to implement the Kyoto Protocol. And working for improving the fuel efficiency of cars and the energy efficiency of buildings.ETS==The Emissions Trading Scheme gives financial aid to reduce emissions by establishing a meket-based trading system

European Climate Change ProgrammeLaunched in 2000Apply to all applications in the Kyoto protocolStrategy;to limit carbon dioxide (CO2)Improve energy efficiencyECCP==The goal of the ECCP is to identify and develop all the necessary elements of an EU strategy to implement the Kyoto Protocol. And working for improving the fuel efficiency of cars and the energy efficiency of buildings.

Community strategy to limit carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions and improve energy efficiency. These include: a directive to promote electricity from renewable energy, voluntary commitments by car makers to reduce CO 2 emissions by 25% and proposals on the taxation of energy products.11Emissions Trading SchemeLaunched in 2005Works on cap and trade gives a financial incentive to reduce emissions by establishing a market-based trading systemthe 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway

Launched in 2005, the EU ETS works on the "cap and trade" principle. This means there is a "cap", or limit, on the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that can be emitted by the factories, power plants and other installations in the system. Within this cap, companies receive emission allowances which they can sell to or buy from one another as needed. The limit on the total number of allowances available ensures that they have a value.12Johannesburg Renewable Energy CoalitionAgreed by Heads of State at the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD)There were 66 founding membersJREC 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, NGOsThe Commission chairs the Johannesburg Renewable Energy Coalition (JREC), a coalition of 90 countries that are working together to promote renewable energy.

13The "20-20-20" targets

A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resourcesA 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.

DENMARKDenmark is one of the most efficient users of renewable energy compared with the other EU Member States and OECD countries

WND POWERWave PowerBIOMASSProduction of Renewable Energy by Type

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 comesfrom wind power.

Denmark have failed to reduce their own emissions.

SwedenSweden 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 Swedens total energy supplied was renewable energy.

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.the National Environmental Protection and Water Management Fund and provincial, district and commune environmental protection and water management funds.

Polands GHG emissions were 32.0 %below base-year (1988) levels and 0.6 % above those in2004 in 2005.

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.TURKEYToday, Turkeys economy is mainly dependent on oil,and natural gas. On the other hand, it is a rich country for the renewable energ resourcesIt has the 8% of the geothermal energy potential in the world.The aim is : to decrease of 3% in the country's energy dependence
