Climate change is no longer solely an environmental issue. It has become a global challenge that directly affects economic growth, financial stability, production processes and investment decisions. Rising temperatures, drought, extreme weather events and the mounting pressure on natural resources have led countries to develop climate policies, while bringing the financing dimension of those policies to the fore. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals therefore requires a robust financing structure that can support environmental transformation. The success of the green transition cannot depend solely on public resources. Particularly in developing countries, the scale of investment required makes active private-sector participation and…
Objective 1: Establishing the Necessary Infrastructure for a Transparent and Measurable Green Finance Ecosystem The first objective of the Action Plan is to establish a reliable, transparent and measurable green-finance system in Türkiye. It envisages common rules for green-finance practices, a stronger data infrastructure, reporting standards and measures to prevent the misuse of green-finance practices. Five targets and several related actions have been defined under this objective. The first target is to establish a regulatory framework that supports green finance. It envisages completing the Türkiye Green Taxonomy; developing rules on the green asset ratio; introducing sustainability requirements for insurance and…
