Amina Erdogan on Climate Week opening
Amine Erdogan, the wife of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, attended the opening of Climate Week in New York. She emphasized the importance of the "Zero Waste" initiative in reducing the impact of climate change. She pointed out that approximately 7 billion tons of plastic out of a total of 9.2 billion tons produced since the 1950s have become waste. The "Zero Waste" movement, initiated by Turkey in 2017, has spread to various institutions, leading to an increase in recycling rates in the country from 13% to over 37%. She confirmed that the initiative has become an effective tool in addressing the climate crisis, stressing the need for countries and companies to develop sustainable infrastructure and circular production technologies. She also mentioned the adoption of a United Nations resolution and the upcoming climate conference in Turkey to promote this approach, with a Turkish official noting that the concept of "Zero Waste" reflects the growing global responsibility toward the environment.
