The second "One and a Half Degrees" Climate Literacy and Disaster Communication program was held in Konya, Turkey, in cooperation with the Presidency of Communication, the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK), the Konya Metropolitan Municipality, Selçuk University (SÜ), and Necmettin Erbakan University (NEÜ).
The closing session of the programs, led by Konya Metropolitan Municipality Social Innovation Agency, took place at the Metropolitan Municipality Stone Building Culture and Arts Center.
RTÜK President Ebubekir Şahin, who participated in the program, emphasized that communication during disaster periods is the most significant and valuable type of news reporting within communication models.
Şahin expressed that Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay, with his invaluable efforts in the earthquake-stricken region, has won the hearts of people of all ages, from 7 to 70. He said, "Truly, I extend endless thanks to our esteemed Mayor, who has made Konya and Turkey proud and has shown everyone how local governance should be carried out. We have never seen him in the media, he has never said, 'We are also doing this here,' but we always knew that there was a hero there. Together with his team, he was there with the people of Konya."
