Comparative study of climate change consequences in Poland and in Turkey

The paper presents a comparative study of basic climate change impacts’ categories and analyses of climate change consequences in a structured way in relation to macroeconomic and sustainable development indicators in Poland and in Turkey. Taxonomic distance method was used to compare the basic environmental and economic aspects between the countries. The results of the comparative study of basic macroeconomic and sustainable development indicators were elaborated to provide background for the subsequently discussed identification of the mutual learning possibilities between Poland and Turkey in relation to climate adaptation and climate change mitigation actions. The comparison revealed the resemblance of the countries in many aspects so that the peer learning related to climate change adaptation and mitigation actions could be possible.
