Publication and policy framework
The ministry said the plan was published through Presidential Circular No. 2026/12 in Official Gazette No. 33426, dated 10 November 2026. Described as one of Türkiye’s core policy documents guiding its green transition, the plan was renewed in line with the country’s 2053 Net Zero Emissions Target. The update was coordinated by the Ministry of Trade, taking account of current developments and new priorities. The announcement concerns a published action plan, rather than a draft proposal. Source

That earlier plan provided a comprehensive roadmap for work coordinated by public institutions in close cooperation with the private sector and relevant stakeholders. Reasons given for the update include developments in international climate and trade policies, changes in EU legislation and Türkiye’s emerging needs. Source
