Turkey Updates Green Deal Action Plan for 2026-2030
Turkey has updated its Green Deal Action Plan for 2026-2030, Trade Minister Ömer Bolat said at a COP31 event in Antalya.
The plan brings government bodies and the private sector together to guide changes across the economy.
Its updated version adds digitalisation, a fair transition and training to existing efforts on issues such as industrial decarbonisation and clean energy.
Turkey adopted its first Green Deal Action Plan in 2021, and Bolat also cited the country’s 2053 net-zero target and a 2025 climate law that provides a legal basis for carbon pricing and an emissions trading system.
Bolat said climate action and trade should support each other, arguing that trade can help businesses access clean technologies and sustainable products.
He described the green transition as an economic opportunity, while warning that access to finance and technology is unequal.
The COP31 discussions will cover support for smaller businesses and investment, as well as low-carbon supply chains and international cooperation.

What people are saying
Our goal is a more innovative, resource-efficient and high-value-added economy. One important lesson is that public policy sets the direction, while companies turn goals into real-world results. That is why we work closely with our exporters and business associations.
This is also one of the greatest economic opportunities of our time. It creates new markets, investment and growth. Our task is to make trade a driving force in this transformation.
Trade should not be an obstacle to climate action.
