COP31 ev sahibi Türkiye iklim endeksinde 53'üncü sıraya geriledi
Executive Summary
AI-generatedDespite hosting COP31, Turkey's climate performance has declined, dropping to 53rd place in the 2027 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) and remaining in the 'very low' category. The report highlights a critical contradiction: while renewable energy capacity is expanding rapidly, fossil fuel electricity generation is simultaneously increasing, and national policies lack a binding decarbonization roadmap.
Key Insights
- Turkey's climate performance dropped to 53rd place in the CCPI, maintaining a 'very low' overall rating.
- The country's climate policies are rated 'very low' (59th place), and current national commitments allow emissions to rise until 2035.
- Renewable energy capacity has tripled, growing from 9.5 GW in 2022 to 28 GW by September 2026.
- This renewable growth is offset by an increase in fossil fuel electricity production, which rose from 186 TWh to 201 TWh between 2022 and 2025.
- Experts criticize the lack of absolute emission reduction targets, a binding roadmap, and clear accountability mechanisms.
- External observers note that Turkey cannot claim climate leadership while simultaneously planning new coal power plants.
