Regulation on Local Climate Change Action Plans and Provincial Climate Change Coordination Boards
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation sets the rules for preparing, approving, carrying out, monitoring, and reporting local climate change action plans at provincial level in Turkey. These plans must support Turkey’s net-zero emissions goal, national climate commitments, and wider planning tools, with a focus on both cutting greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate risks. It also defines how provincial climate change coordination boards will work and assigns responsibilities to public bodies, local authorities, and other relevant institutions. For municipalities, provincial administrations, public agencies, and businesses involved in local planning, infrastructure, energy, transport, construction, or environmental reporting, the practical effect is more structured local climate planning and closer monitoring through digital systems such as the Climate Portal and E-YİDEP.
