Turkey: Law Approving Ratification of the Paris Agreement (October 7, 2021)

Law No. 7335, accepted on October 6, 2021, and published in the Official Gazette on October 7, 2021, approves the ratification of the Paris Agreement by Turkey. The Paris Agreement, adopted at the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), was signed by the Republic of Turkey on April 22, 2016. This law finds it appropriate for Turkey to ratify the Agreement, along with a declaration. The purpose of the law is solely to provide the domestic legal approval necessary for Turkey to proceed with the formal ratification process of the Paris Agreement, thereby enabling Turkey to become a Party to the Agreement and undertake its commitments related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and support. The law itself does not detail the specific obligations, affected sectors, or compliance deadlines contained within the Paris Agreement; rather, it is the legal instrument that allows Turkey to be bound by the Agreement's provisions. The law entered into force upon its publication on October 7, 2021. The President of Turkey is responsible for executing the provisions of this law.
