Turkey has significant potential to generate carbon credits through nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) in key sectors like renewable energy, methane reduction, and forestry. Turkey's sectoral plans prioritize renewable energy development, methane reduction projects, and biological carbon sequestration. However, Turkey needs to establish an "enabling environment" by addressing gaps in its regulatory framework, developing standards and protocols, and building capacity in order to fully leverage the opportunities in carbon markets. Private sector engagement will be important to help develop the carbon market.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

IMPLEMENTATIONOF GOOD CITIZENS CORPS (GCC) AT INTERMEDIATE
LEVELON THEANALOGY OF NCC.
Background
During early 90’s, a popular initiative titled “National Cadet Corps (NCC)” was in place at all
educational institutes country-wide. By this, all intermediate level students (of both years) were
required to undergo three weeks preliminary physical exercise through military trainers. The basic
purpose of the training was to teach them discipline, inculcate patriotism, and acquaint them with
basic military know-how to be used during war. The course was optional, however to develop
interest from amongst the students, there was provision for award 20 academic marks upon
successful completion of the course and certificate. It has now been 18 years of discontinuation of
the NCC course. To revive that concept in a more pragmatic and organized way, a set of initiatives
leading to shaping of good citizens is required that encompasses period from school till post-
graduation. The set shall besides other, consist of marks-based concept i.e. GCC, to be implemented
at all educational institutes of the province to involve the intermediate students into practical socio-
cultural and extra-curricular activities.
