Türkiye presented its 2040 energy and climate vision to global investors at COP31 in Antalya, outlining plans to quadruple both solar and wind power capacity while seeking greater investment in green infrastructure.
Ahmet Burak Daglioglu, head of Türkiye’s Investment and Finance Office, told Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency on the sidelines of the U.N. climate summit that the office aims to increase cross-regional capital flows into Türkiye and expand climate-friendly projects.
He said achieving the 2040 targets would require coordination across public institutions.
Daglioglu said Türkiye’s long-term targets build on renewable energy efforts that accelerated after a key energy law was adopted in 2005.
“Türkiye is one of the countries with the highest share of renewable energy among peers worldwide,” he said.
He also highlighted Türkiye’s electric mobility transition, pointing to domestic automaker Togg, which he described as one of Europe’s largest electric vehicle manufacturers.
The launch of Togg marked a major milestone in Türkiye’s broader shift toward electric mobility, he said.
Daglioglu also cited the circular economy as a major global priority and pointed to the Zero Waste Project, led by first lady Emine Erdogan since its launch in 2017.
He said the initiative had achieved a high recycling rate and helped Türkiye attract investment in recycling and upcycling projects.
“Türkiye secured many investment projects in recycling and upcycling, and has a story to tell in all sustainability-related goals,” Daglioglu said. “COP31 is a key platform to present this to the world as an example.”
Daglioglu said institutions and investors financing green and climate-friendly projects are critical to meeting capital needs through foreign direct investment.
“We make an effort every year to reach investors around the world, and bringing all these stakeholders here to COP31 was a part of our President’s vision,” he said.
He added that Türkiye was using the summit to present its sustainability achievements and future plans to international investors and financiers.
