Türkiye is a signatory to several international agreements on climate issues.

Under Turkish law, international agreements enter into force after they have been duly ratified by the Turkish Parliament. Türkiye has signed and ratified the Paris Agreement, which means that the Paris Agreement is now binding under Turkish law.

In addition, Türkiye has concluded, but not yet ratified, the following conventions:

• the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer;

• the Montreal Protocol on Ozone-Depleting Substances;

• the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change;

• the Kyoto Protocol; and

• the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal.

Accordingly, the above-mentioned international agreements and regulations are considered to provide guidance for policy and legislation on climate issues, as they are not currently in force in Türkiye.
