HOW MANY KILOGRAMS DO ISTANBULITIES PAY FOR THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT?

What would it mean for Istanbul to respect the health of the whole planet?
The City Doughnut project is a circular economy method that was launched in 2017 by economist Kate Raworth, and has been implemented in many megacities such as Amsterdam, Philadelphia, and Portland. To tackle climate breakdown, the main point where this method stands out is that every city actor could participate in changing their settings, neighborhoods, and cities.
In my project, I aim to use The City Doughnut principles to reach the best scenarios for the future: Istanbul.
"The essence of the Doughnut: a social foundation of well-being that no one should fall below, and an ecological ceiling of planetary pressure that we should not go beyond. Between the two lies a safe and just space for all."
"Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist" is a book written by Kate Raworth."
