Turkey's Green Taxonomy criticized ahead of COP31
Original: Turkey's Green Taxonomy paradox ahead of COP31: ‘Nuclear energy and fossil gas are unacceptable’
Turkey is facing criticism over its green taxonomy ahead of the COP31 climate summit, with critics arguing that the country's framework is paradoxical because it allows nuclear energy and fossil gas under the label of sustainable investment. Climate advocates and observers say including these energy sources contradicts the purpose of a green classification system, raising questions about Turkey's climate commitments and the credibility of its transition strategy heading into the international talks.
Why now: Debate over whether nuclear energy and fossil gas should count as 'green' is intensifying as COP31 approaches.
