Türkiye's Second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0)

Türkiye has determined its climate targets for 2035 and 2053 and submitted its Second Nationally Determined Contribution ("NDC") within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ("UNFCCC") at COP30, the Conference of the Parties, held in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. Taking a brief look at the introduction of Türkiye's NDC, which sets out the country's climate targets, the objectives and achievements may be summarized as follows:

1. In the face of the global climate crisis, the Paris Agreement encourages collective action to limit the increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C.
2. Türkiye has adopted a 2053 net-zero target and submitted an ambitious NDC that foresees a 41% reduction by 2030 compared to the Business-as-Usual ("BAU") scenario.
