The Climate Change and Air Management Coordination Board (Turkish: İklim Değişikliği ve Hava Yönetimi Koordinasyon Kurulu) is a government agency of the Republic of Turkey, responsible for coordinating policy against air pollution in Turkey and climate change in Turkey; board meetings are chaired by the Minister of Environment and Urban Planning.^[1]

Climate change[]

In 2018 a report outlining carbon market policy options for Turkey was submitted to the board.^[2]

Criticism[]

Renewable energy reduces health costs in Turkey

As of 2019 the Health Ministry is not actively involved in the permitting of industrial facilities, such as coal-fired power stations, which cause deaths due to air pollution.^[3]

Despite the Energy Ministry being represented on the board, in 2018 the European Commission criticised the lack of co-ordination between the climate change policy and energy policy of Turkey.^[4] As of February 2019 energy policy still included mining more coal^[5] and subsidizing coal-fired power stations.^[6] However, according to an April 2019 article in Daily Sabah, a government supporting newspaper, Turkey is "turning its back on coal power".^[7]
