Vice President Yılmaz: We encourage concrete steps to be taken at COP31 as much as possible

Stating that concrete steps must be taken in the fight against climate change, Yılmaz said, "There is not much left unsaid under the sun. Therefore, we say it is time to act." Stating that the organization was successful, Yılmaz said that the main goal of COP31 is to implement the decisions taken in the fight against climate change.

'IT'S THE CONTENT THAT MATTER'

Stating that they have been examining the summit area for a long time, Yılmaz said, "We have been here for a long time, we have toured the area. A really good preparation has been made. We congratulate our Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, our Climate Presidency. We congratulate our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and all the ministries and local authorities that contributed. Turkey does these things very well. We saw it at the NATO Summit, and we see it here too. We are a country with the ability to organize. We show this too. Of course, the content is what is important. The organization is quite important. "In terms of content, the concept we focus on most in this COP is implementation. As you know, the motto of this COP is dialogue, reconciliation and action. We underline that action as much as possible," he said.

'BRIDGE' MECHANISM

Explaining that they have brought to the agenda a new mechanism for the financing of climate projects, Yılmaz said, "In this context, we have brought up a new mechanism called 'Bridge'. Here, we are establishing a mechanism that brings together financers and those who have projects. Turkey will be a permanent part of this. Here, it is aimed to match those who have good projects and cannot find financing with those who have resources but cannot find good projects."
