Özet

İklim değişikliği tehdidi giderek büyürken, çevresel zorluklarla başa çıkmak için etkili yönetişim ihtiyacı her zamankinden daha acil hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilir yönetişim ile dijital yeniliklerin kesişimini ele alarak, E-Devlet’in iklim eylemini hızlandırmadaki kritik rolüne odaklanmaktadır. Hızla ilerleyen teknolojik gelişmeler çağında, E-Devlet, hükümetlere süreçleri kolaylaştırma, şeffaflığı artırma ve vatandaşları çevresel sürdürülebilirliğe yönelik ortak çabalara dahil etme konusunda benzersiz fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Vaka çalışmaları, teorik çerçeveler ve ampirik analizler aracılığıyla bu çalışma, dijital teknolojilerden yararlanarak iklim dayanıklılığı sağlamak için yenilikçi stratejileri ve en iyi uygulamaları sergilemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Veri odaklı karar alma süreçlerinden açık yönetişim girişimlerine, vatandaş bilimi ve katılımcı platformlara kadar çalışma, E-Devlet yeniliklerinin iklim yönetişimi alanında nasıl dönüşüm yarattığını inceleyecektir. Politika yapıcılar, araştırmacılar ve uygulayıcılar arasında diyalog geliştirmeyi hedefleyen bu çalışma, eyleme geçirilebilir içgörüler ilham vermeyi ve dijital çağda sürdürülebilir bir geleceğe yönelik yollar oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.
