Waste Sector;

• Preventing waste generation and reducing the amount of waste generated within the fra-
mework of circular economy principles,

• Increasing the recovery rate of urban waste to 60% by 2035,
• Increasing the recovery rate of methane gas from biodegradable wastes,

• Reducing the percentage of waste landfilled in organized landfill to reach the target of zero
landfilling of municipal waste without pre-treatment by 2053,

• Increasing RDF production from municipal waste,

• Converting wastewater treatment plants into bio-retreatment plants, increasing the per-
centage of reuse and expanding the utilization areas of treated wastewater

Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF);
• Increasing the sink capacity of forests through improved/sustainable forest management,
afforestation/reforestation, restoration and revitalisation of existing forested areas and
long-term planning,
• Promote nature and/or technology-based solutions that increase sink capacity, such as re-
forestation, rural and agricultural land conservation and pasture improvement,
• Prevention, control and mitigation of desertification and land degradation.

CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN 2024-2030 (CCMAP )
Since the implementation period of the existing Climate Change Action Plan (2011-2023) has
come to an end, a Climate Change Mitigation Strategy and Action Plan (CCMAP) was prepared to
cover the implementation period 2024-2030, taking into account the 2053 Net Zero Emission
Target, 12 Development Plan, Medium Term Programme, NDC and Climate Council Decisions.
th
During the document preparation process, more than 100 meetings were held with stakehol-
ders from all sectors. More than 2,000 people from public, private sector and non-governmental
organizations participated in the meetings. Within the scope of CCMAP, a needs analysis was
carried out to address Türkiye’s climate change policies, strategies, plans and measures within
the scope of greenhouse gas emission mitigation. As a result of the analysis, sectoral mitigation
strategies and actions were identified with the participation of experts and stakeholders. Within
the scope of the Plan, 49 strategies and 260 actions were prepared focusing on “industry, energy,
buildings, transport, agriculture, waste and LULUCF (Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry)
sectors and cross-cutting issues identified as just transition and carbon pricing. The Action Plan
was adopted by the Climate Change and Adaptation Coordination Board on 27 December 2023
and published on 21 March 2024.

CCMAP’s main sectoral strategies include;

• Mainstreaming energy efficiency in all sectors,

• Maximising the use of renewable energy,
• Reducing carbon footprint and carbon intensity on product basis in industry,
