Target pathway (net, incl. LULUCF)

  1. 2030695 Mt

    A 41% cut against a 1,175 Mt reference scenario (2012-based BAU); its implementation period runs to 2030.

  2. 2035643 Mt

    A 466 Mt cut against a 1,109 Mt reference scenario updated with 2018 data; the NDC currently in force.

  3. By 2038Peak

    Set out with the updated first NDC; the second NDC text does not restate a peak year.

  4. 2053Net zero

    The 2053 Long-Term Climate Strategy links sectoral milestones to net zero.

On the COP31 negotiating table

  • NDC 3.0New national contributions: Second NDC: a 466 Mt cut against a 1,109 Mt reference scenario in 2035, capping emissions at 643 Mt CO₂e (incl. LULUCF); net zero by 2053.
  • NCQGClimate finance: Türkiye is listed in Annex I but not Annex II, so it carries no obligation to provide finance.
  • Article 6Carbon markets: The Turkish Emissions Trading System (TR ETS), established by the Climate Law, has entered its pilot phase.
  • GGAAdaptation: The Mediterranean basin is a climate-change hotspot; Türkiye is implementing its 2024–2030 Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan.
  • L&DLoss and damage: As host, Türkiye is emphasising a bridging role between developed and developing countries.
  • ETFTransparency: Türkiye submitted its first BTR in 2024; its 1990–2024 national inventory is the source of this platform's sector data.
