Türkiye Revises Green Deal Plan to Advance Sustainability, EU Integration
(MENAFN) Türkiye has revised its Green Deal Action Plan for the 2026-2030 period, seeking to strengthen its participation in international green supply chains and bring its policies closer to the European Union Customs Union, according to a decision published in the Official Gazette on Tuesday.
The updated five-year strategy, signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, aims to promote international partnerships that support the efficient reuse and management of natural resources.
The revision comes amid growing global efforts to accelerate the shift toward environmentally sustainable economic models, as the United Nations and the European Union introduce policies focused on circular economy practices and reducing industrial carbon emissions.
The document highlighted Türkiye's progress in developing climate legislation and carbon pricing mechanisms, while "boosting renewable energy capacity, transitioning to a circular economy, and promoting sustainable production practices."
The revised framework adopts a twin transition strategy, bringing together environmental sustainability and digital transformation as parallel priorities.
Under the new plan, a Green Deal Working Group will be established under the leadership of the Trade Ministry or a designated deputy. The body will oversee implementation, assess progress and coordinate efforts with senior representatives from relevant government ministries.
Public institutions involved in the initiative will also be required to submit annual reports detailing progress on the specific measures assigned to them.
