Carbon emissions
About 1% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions are from Turkey.
Contents
Coal
A large part of these emissions are from coal. However, more coal fired power plants are planned.
Effects
Turkey is forecast to be more severely effected than many other regions.
Agriculture
Pine nut production has been severely reduced.
Politics
"Given the fact that a new coal-fired power plant has a minimum of 40 years of economic life, Turkey's coal rush could create an inextricable carbon lock-in."
Mitigation
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions are up to 21 percent reduction in GHG emissions from the Business as Usual (BAU) level by 2030.
Finance
The EBRD is investing.
