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]
In 2018 a report outlining carbon market policy options for Turkey was submitted to the board. [2]
As of 2019 [update] 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 [update] energy policy still included mining more coal [5] and subsidizing coal-fired power stations. [6] As of 2022 the board's decisions are not binding. [7]
Although the Health and Agriculture Ministries coordinate with each other, there is no formal agreement between Health and Energy or Transport as of 2022. [8]
