Nationally Determined Contribution

Dear Member,

With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, Türkiye is obliged, pursuant to the provisions of the Paris Agreement to which it is a party, to submit its Nationally Determined Contribution to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The targets of our country's Updated First Nationally Determined Contribution were announced on 15 November 2022 at the Ministerial Session of the 27th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC. In addition, it was registered in the NDC registry of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in April.

In this context; according to the reference scenario of the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) submitted to the UNFCCC in 2015, an emission target of 695 million tons of CO2 equivalent, with a 41% reduction from the increase, has been set for 2030, and 2038 has been determined as the peak year.

The English text of the Updated First Nationally Determined Contribution can be accessed at the link https://iklim.tobb.org.tr/index.php/dokuman/336-ulusal-katki-beyani-nisan-2023, and the Turkish text is attached.
