Türkiye to Put Water Efficiency on the Agenda at COP31

Türkiye plans to bring water efficiency and zero-loss policies to the attention of a global audience at the COP31 climate conference. The country's determination on these issues stems from a conviction that combating climate change requires the adoption of a holistic approach to environmental management.

The efficient use of water resources and minimising losses across the agriculture and industry sectors lie at the heart of Türkiye's climate strategy. In this context, the zero-loss principle represents a broad transformation process encompassing both infrastructure investment and policy reform.

At a time when the global water crisis is deepening, Türkiye's decision to emphasise these issues on an international platform carries significant weight at the regional level as well. The decisions and joint commitments forged at COP31 could directly contribute to shaping and strengthening the country's existing water policies. Türkiye's proactive stance is also seen as closely aligned with its green transition goals.
