Erdogan detailed Türkiye’s ongoing initiatives, including plans to establish an emissions trading system, implement a green finance strategy, and create a national green taxonomy.

He said the country’s climate policy is built on seven pillars: energy, industry, buildings, transportation, waste, agriculture, and forestry.

“Through the policies to be implemented in the economy, we aim to achieve an emission reduction of 466 million tons by 2035 and to lower our emissions down to 643 million tons,” Erdogan said.

He expressed hope that Türkiye could host the COP31 summit in 2026.
