Türkiye's 2026-2030 Green Deal Action Plan puts carbon pricing at the center of its industrial transition. The plan includes a domestic emissions trading system modeled on the EU, sectoral studies to identify carbon leakage risk, and a working group to coordinate with EU officials on CBAM implementation. Ankara also plans to expand Green Organized Industrial Zones, update certification criteria, and develop technology roadmaps for glass, ceramics, chemicals, and foundries. A separate focus on water efficiency and waste trade is included for SMEs and industrial zones. The plan is heavy on targets and studies. The next test is whether the ETS timeline, CBAM recognition, and financing details survive implementation.

Türkiye just laid out its 2026-2030 Green Deal Action Plan. The big items are a domestic ETS, CBAM alignment work, and green organized industrial zones. 142 actions sounds broad, but the sector studies will matter more than the list. Worth reading if you track carbon pricing outside the EU.

The ETS part is the one to watch. They say they will study sectoral impacts and carbon leakage risk, but no timeline or coverage details yet. If Ankara wants EU compatibility, the monitoring and default value rules have to line up before industry starts reporting. That is where these plans usually stall.

Agree on the timeline point. CBAM is already phasing in, so Türkiye needs its own system recognized before exporters face the border charge. The plan mentions a working group with EU officials, but recognition is not automatic. The legislative framework for a local CBAM is the detail to track.
