Navigating The Road To Sustainability: Turkey's Climate Endeavours During COP28

As the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, commonly referred to as the 'COP 28 Climate Summit,' concludes its discussions, a landmark commitment has emerged. A collaborative effort involving 123 nations¹ has resulted in the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge. This ambitious initiative outlines the objective of tripling the world's renewable energy capacity by 2030 and doubling advancements in energy efficiency. Notably, among the 118 signatories, Turkey has not yet committed to this transformative pledge. This raises a crucial question: Why is Turkey, a participant in the Paris Convention, hesitant to join the global effort aimed at tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030?
