The Turkish Climate Network, representing 16 civil society organizations, announced expectations for COP31 in Türkiye this November, urging the country to phase out coal. A meeting in Istanbul highlighted the need for concrete actions beyond the climate law effective from summer 2025, which aims for net-zero emissions but lacks a clear reduction target.
The law allows up to 10% of revenues from the Emissions Trading System to support just transition initiatives. Türkiye is finalizing a 2030 emissions reduction target and a long-term low-emission strategy for 2053, focusing on renewable energy and nature-based solutions. COP31 will gather nearly 200 countries in Antalya and Istanbul to discuss the Paris Agreement implementation.
