A new era in climate policy is beginning in Turkey after it ratified the Paris Agreement, according to a joint statement released on Thursday by 15 environmental groups in the country.
Turkey is expected to set new targets and prepare action plans for emissions reduction after it became one of the 191 countries that ratified the deal on Wednesday to contribute to global efforts against climate change.
The statement, signed by such organizations as the World Wildlife Fund Turkey and the Climate Action Network Europe, underlined that this was a positive step on Turkey's part, adding that with the adoption of the net zero emissions target by 2053, the country would enter a new era in its climate policy.
It also pointed to statements by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the UN General Assembly last month that the document's approval in parliament would bring radical changes in the country's investment, production, and employment policies.
