Türkiye Presents Long-Term Green Energy Strategy at COP31
(MENAFN) Türkiye introduced its long-term climate and energy plans to international investors at the 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) UN Climate Change event in Antalya, outlining a vision that extends through 2040.
The government aims to quadruple the country's solar and wind energy capacity, a target that will require coordinated efforts across public institutions.
Ahmet Burak Daglioglu, head of Türkiye’s Investment and Finance Office, said the agency is working to attract more cross-regional investment into the country while supporting the expansion of environmentally sustainable projects.
Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, Daglioglu explained that the 2040 objectives build on Türkiye's renewable energy development, which gained momentum after the adoption of a major energy law in 2005.
“Türkiye is one of the countries with the highest share of renewable energy among peers worldwide,” he said.
He also highlighted Türkiye's automotive industry, pointing to Togg as one of Europe's largest electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers.
The introduction of the domestic car brand represented an important step in the country's wider transition toward electric mobility.
Daglioglu further identified the circular economy as an increasingly important global priority, highlighting the Zero Waste Project, launched in 2017 under the leadership of Turkish first lady Emine Erdogan, as an initiative that has delivered a high recycling rate.
“Türkiye secured many investment projects in recycling and upcycling, and has a story to tell in all sustainability-related goals,” he said. “The COP31 is a key platform to present this to the world as an example.”
He stressed that financial institutions and investors supporting environmentally friendly projects are essential to meeting funding requirements, particularly through foreign direct investment (FDI).
“We make an effort every year to reach investors around the world, and bringing all these stakeholders here (to COP31) was a part of our President’s vision — Here, together with all our colleagues, we are preparing to share these success stories and our vision for the future with investors and financiers,” he added.
