UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell emphasizes the negative impacts of fossil fuel dependency on national security, sovereignty, and economies, advocating for a shift to renewable energy for a more cost-effective, secure, and sustainable solution. Europe has a unique opportunity to lead in climate action and attract investment by embracing green growth, transitioning away from fossil fuels, upgrading grids, and supporting the Emissions Trading Scheme. The EU has been driving ambition at COPs and urges continued support for the process, with significant commitments made at COP30 and plans to continue progress at COP31 in Türkiye. Companies are coming to COPs to secure agreements that tackle the climate crisis and benefit their bottom lines, while the EU is building new partnerships to invest in value chains in partner countries and strengthen alliances for peace and prosperity in the face of climate change.

Türkiye installs 4.7 GW of solar in 2025
Türkiye's cumulative solar capacity is nearing 25 GW, with 4,694 MW of new solar deployed in 2025, primarily for self-consumption in the commercial and industrial sector. Unlicensed and licensed power plants both contributed to this growth, with a focus on easing bureaucratic barriers for residential solar systems to unlock rooftop solar potential. The solar market in Türkiye is expected to continue expanding, particularly in licensed power plant installations and the rising popularity of floating solar, showcasing the country's commitment to renewable energy solutions and addressing climate change.
