Turkey

In Article 56, the Constitution recognizes the right to a healthy environment for everyone, as well as the duty of the State and of citizens to upgrade the environment, protect environmental health and prevent pollution. Turkey is a party to many key international environmental conventions which provide appropriate policy frameworks and promote cooperation and coherent action at global, regional and national levels to address environmental problems. However, Turkey remains the only G20 country that has not ratified the Paris Agreement.
