Cagdas Dedeoglu, an adjunct professor at Yorkville University (Toronto, ON) and a Research Associate at The Center for Critical Research on Religion (USA) showcased his research connecting the relationship between environmental attitudes, political ideology, and religion in Turkey. His study investigates the various ecological issues in Turkey, such as the building of the hydropower plants in the river basins, and how religious attitudes may be linked to environmental risks. Through further analysis, Dedeoglu establishes the reason to why there is a lack of a feasible “green” coalition in Turkey and the need for structural change to shift individual ontologies towards environmental priority.
