International Expert on Carbon Markets
UNDP (United Nations Development Programme)
Ankara, Turkey - Turkey
| Background | |||||||||||||||||||
|
Recognizing that the traditional donor support would be insufficient to address global Climate Change challenge, the Kyoto Protocol broke new ground with the introduction of innovative, new financial market mechanisms to leverage private financing for controlling and coping with climate change. Turkey has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol yet and thus cannot benefit from participation in the Kyoto Protocol Flexible mechanisms. Nevertheless, the country has significant GHG emissions reductions potential and could participate efficiently on the flexible mechanisms, especially in VCM. In addition, it is important not to lose the momentum and to formulate country’s position in post-Kyoto negotiations.
As a candidate country for full EU membership, Turkey is striving to be in line with the EU climate change policy. Climate change is of the highest priority in the environmental agenda of the European Union.
The climate change policies and measures that have resulted from the EU strategies and programmes are covered in the EU legislation by numerous Directives in almost all sectors of the economy.
