This report examines Turkey’s progress since the previous OECD Environmental Performance Review in 1999 and the extent to which the country has met its national objectives and international commitments regarding the management of the environment and natural resources. The report also reviews Turkey’s progress in the context of the OECD Environmental Strategy, and compares to the recommendations of the 1999 OECD review. Progress has stemmed from environmental and economic decisions and actions by national and territorial authorities, as well as by enterprises, households and non governmental organisations. 45 recommendations are made that could contribute to further environmental progress in Turkey.

This book is part of the OECD Environmental Performance Reviews Programme, which conducts peer reviews of environmental conditions and progress in each member country. The analyses presented are supported by a broad range of economic and environmental data and lead to recommendations for further environmental and sustainable development progress.
