At the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015, 195 countries
adopted the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate agreement.
The new agreement ends the strict differentiation between developed and
developing countries that characterized earlier efforts, replacing it with a
common framework that commits all countries to put forward their best
efforts and to strengthen them in the years ahead. This includes, for the first
time, requirements that all parties report regularly on their emissions and
implementation efforts, and undergo international review. The agreement
sets out a global action plan to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting
global warming to well below 2°C, while urging efforts to limit the increase to
1.5°C. The 187 countries responsible for more than 97 percent of the world’s
total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have announced specific reduction
plans also known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).,
Turkey, in its INDC, offers a 21% reduction in emissions by 2030, compared to
a business-as-usual scenario (BAU) and requests financial support, including
from the Green Climate Fund. Turkey plans to use carbon credits from
international market mechanisms to achieve its 2030 mitigation target in a
cost effective manner and in accordance with the relevant rules and standards.
This paper will discuss the outcomes of Paris Agreement and its impact on
Turkey.
