Hakkı Alkan talked about zero emissions at COP31

ShiftDelete.Net founder and technology content producer Hakkı Alkan spoke to TYT Türk microphones within the scope of COP31 held in Antalya between 9-20 November 2026. In the interview published by the channel on X on November 10, 2026, Alkan talked about the environmentally friendly living model he created with solar panels and electric vehicles.

Alkan said, "Obviously, the energy I used in the content I produced came from electricity. I also provided the electricity from renewable sources and I told this to my followers. It was watched by millions." he said. He also stated that the audience was inspired and continued: "They switched to electric cars. They installed solar panels on their homes. They installed a charging station in their homes." Moreover, he said that the audience understood what a wind turbine is and how it works.

What message did he give at COP31?

Alkan said that his aim here is to show how we can use the resources Türkiye has efficiently. "Because we are talking about our independence. In fact, independence in energy is at least as important as the defense industry." Alkan said, therefore, he emphasized that everything possible should be done in this field. The goal of independence in energy also has an important place in Türkiye's National Energy 2040 plan.

"As a technology content producer, I have prepared a zero-emission environment in Sakarya. I share and continue to share." Alkan said and called on his audience to realize how rich renewable energy resources are. For example, Türkiye's capacity increase in this field was previously discussed in our news on renewable energy targets.

What did he say about climate change?

Alkan said that when he was a child, he watched news of tornadoes on television in distant countries and that they did not know how those events happened. Then he said, "But in Antalya, where this event is currently being held, our citizens lost their lives in the tornado last week." he said. As a matter of fact, this statement emphasized that climate events are no longer distant news.

However, according to the news of Anadolu Agency on October 27, 2026, two containers in which the workers were staying were destroyed in the tornado that occurred in a construction site in Fevzi Çakmak District of Antalya's Kepez district on the night of October 26; 4 workers died and 1 worker was injured.

Alkan said, "The conclusion we need to draw from here is this. The climate is changing." he said and said, "Does anyone have a contribution? The answer is yes." he added his words. He attributed this to the fact that the air became cleaner and the distant mountains became visible as the roads were closed and the factories stopped during the pandemic. Thus, he explained, based on his own observation, that human activity affects the weather and climate.

What can be done as an individual?

At the end of the interview, Alkan suggested turning to renewable energy sources and said that these were very simple steps. However, he also added that these are not jobs that only large institutions can do. "As an individual, I do my best to ensure that we can do something even with a solar panel we put on the balcony." he said.

In addition, while solar panels and charging infrastructure are discussed in homes, home-type solutions also come to the fore in Türkiye. We previously announced that A101 offers a home electric vehicle charging station for sale.
