Great Interest from Industrialists in the Green Transformation Meeting

Stating that some companies in Europe have started to request some documents related to carbon emissions on a quarterly basis, Baloğlu said, “Actually, the next two years will be a period of getting used to this process. The path to export is through green transformation. As a country that missed the industrial revolution, I think we should make good use of this opportunity for both our country and our businesses. I believe that this potential lies in our industrialists. We don't have much time left. "As the Chamber of Industry, we are ready to stand by all our members in this process and provide all the support we can," he said.

Orhan Solak, Deputy Director of Climate Change at the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, who came to the podium later, stated that climate change has become a global problem and said, “As a country, we are located in the Mediterranean zone, where climate change is felt the most. As a result, we face environmental, economic and social losses in disasters. Green transformation brings with it a comprehensive change and transformation in all sectors in order to eliminate the negative effects of climate change. The industrial sector has a critical role in this process. "Aware of this process, we, as a country, took important political steps and started the green transformation process," he said.

Solak then gave information to the participants about the work they carried out as the Climate Change Directorate.
