Türkiye has updated its Green Deal Action Plan for the 2026-2030 period to strengthen integration into global green supply chains and alignment with the EU Customs Union, according to the Official Gazette on Tuesday.
The five-year strategic framework, signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, aims to establish global partnerships for the efficient reuse of natural resources.
The update comes as green transition efforts accelerate worldwide, with the UN and EU introducing policies governing the circular economy and industrial decarbonisation.
The document says Türkiye has made significant progress in climate legislation and carbon pricing, while boosting renewable energy capacity, transitioning to a circular economy and promoting sustainable production practices.
The new framework adopts a twin-transition approach, addressing green and digital transformations simultaneously.
A newly established Green Deal Working Group will be chaired by the Trade Ministry or a designated deputy. It will monitor and evaluate implementation alongside senior representatives from relevant ministries.
All relevant public institutions will be required to submit annual progress reports on the specific actions under their responsibility.
