A New Era In Climate Change Challenge: Climate Council Final Declaration

Global climate change is undoubtedly one of the greatest problems of our time with its consequences negatively affecting the environment and all living creatures in the ecosystem. The question of how to combat such a problem with such far-reaching implications bears critical importance. In this context, international actions led by the UN, EU, and the US are being taken. It is possible to say that Turkey is also following these developments - albeit a little behind¹.

One of Turkey's most recent steps to combat climate change is the Climate Council ("Council") convened in Konya, one of the Turkish provinces that most affected by the climate change, on February 21 to 25 under the leadership of the Ministry of Climate Change². Although the Council had been assembled latest February, the final declaration³ ("Declaration") was released on June 27, 2022 after long efforts.
