Turkey: Environmental Law

Climate change remains a significant global threat, exacerbated by intensive use of fossil fuels and rapid industrialization processes. Extreme weather events, depletion of water resources, and the destruction of natural habitats—driven by increasing greenhouse gas emissions—profoundly impact both economies and societal structures.

At a time when technology takes up so much space in our lives, we, as humanity, are still helpless in the face of natural disasters, climate changes and epidemics, and we are saddened by feeling inadequate.

Today, climate change mitigation and sustainable development goals play a decisive role in the restructuring of financial systems both globally and locally. It is important for financial institutions to steer their activities by taking environmental risks into account, in order to enhance the effectiveness of sustainable financing policies.
