First Lady Erdoğan: We will encourage the establishment of new collaborations

First Lady Erdoğan stated the following in her statement on her virtual media account:

"The main issue today is not not knowing what to do, but showing the will to put what we know into practice. This is the reason why, as Turkey, we define COP31 as an 'Action COP'. We want to measure success not only with the commitments made, but also with the change they create in people's lives, our cities and our modes of production. The Zero Waste Movement, which we started nine years ago, is a concrete example of this understanding."

'WE WILL ENCOURAGE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW COOPERATIONS'

First Lady Erdoğan also made the following evaluations regarding the Global Zero Waste Alliance Leader Spouses High Level Meeting:

"Based on this perspective, we met with valuable leader spouses at the 'Global Zero Waste Alliance Leader Spouse High Level Meeting' to shape our future. With our Global Zero Waste Alliance, we aim to create a strong basis of cooperation where countries learn successful practices from each other, develop joint projects and disseminate local solutions on a global scale. With the support of valuable leader spouses, we will encourage our work to reach wide geographies and establish new collaborations. May our alliance be beneficial for our countries and all humanity I would like to thank the valuable leader spouses and everyone who contributed for their contributions."
