22/09/2021 (Agence Europe) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Tuesday 21 September, at the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly, that Turkey plans to present the Paris Agreement to its parliament for approval within the next month. “We are among the first countries to have signed the Paris Climate Agreement. However, we hadn’t yet ratified this agreement due to the injustices related to stated obligations and burden sharing,” the Turkish President was also quoted by CNN as saying. This announcement comes just a few weeks before COP26, which will be held in Glasgow from 31 October to 12 November. At this UN Climate Change Conference summit, the European Commission hopes to see as many countries as possible present increased climate targets and clear national roadmaps to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
