Türkiye’s Parliament Passes First Climate Law with Unanimous Support
The Turkish Parliament, also known as the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), is gearing up for intense work following the Ramadan Feast. One of the key topics of discussion will be the Climate Law proposal put forward by the AK Party.
The proposal includes the establishment of a provincial climate change coordination board in each province, chaired by the governor. This board will be responsible for developing Local Climate Change Action Plans aimed at promoting the zero waste system, increasing the use of renewable energy and clean technologies, and ensuring the effective management of water resources.
In addition to the Climate Law proposal, the Assembly will also address the recent fire disaster in Bolu Kartalkaya. The Bolu Kartalkaya Hotel Fire Research Commission will convene two meetings in the upcoming week to gather information from experts involved in the investigation.
Furthermore, the Artificial Intelligence Research Commission will host presentations from Ministry of Justice officials and experts to discuss the latest advancements in AI technology.
As the Assembly resumes its work post-Ramadan, it is evident that there are important issues on the agenda that will shape the future of Turkey’s environmental and technological landscape. Stay tuned for updates on these developments.
