Turkey

The 1982 Constitution recognizes the right of all Turkish citizens to a healthy environment, 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 all 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.

Turkey is committed to combating climate change in accordance with the principles of "common but differentiated responsibilities" and "respective capabilities". Turkey intends to increase its efforts through not only domestic measures but also bilateral and multilateral cooperation and support.
