Turkey issues Green Deal Action Plan for 2026-2030
Turkey has issued a Green Deal Action Plan for 2026-2030, through a presidential circular signed by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and published in the Official Gazette.
The plan updates a 2021 version to reflect global changes and Turkey’s policy priorities.
It combines green and digital transformation and covers areas including cleaner industry, renewable energy, circular use of resources and sustainable production.
The government says the plan is intended to strengthen Turkey’s links to green supply chains and advance economic ties with the European Union.
It also supports Turkey’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2053.
A government working group will track progress, while responsible public institutions must send annual updates to the Trade Ministry.
The updated plan will be published on the ministry’s website, and the working group will assess its implementation.
