"Zero-emission targets must be achieved in cities," said Abdulkadir Uraloglu, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Türkiye, APA reports.
Abdulkadir Uraloglu noted that Türkiye aims to achieve this goal by 2053: "We are promoting the use of electric cars and bicycles in cities."
The Turkish minister stated that 50 out of 58 airports have received carbon certificates: "Air, sea, and road transport play a major role in trade. Türkiye is also located on the Middle Corridor, which includes Azerbaijan. We are exploring the possibilities of using electric-powered trains on the Middle Corridor. We have also started manufacturing electric-powered trains."
He emphasized that reducing carbon emissions is crucial to leaving a livable world for future generations: "At COP29, we are presenting the work we are doing in our country to combat climate change. We rate Azerbaijan’s efforts in organizing COP29 as a 10 out of 10."
