Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan has chaired the first meeting of the UN Zero Waste Advisory Board.
Drawing attention to the fact that the planet's self-repair time is getting longer, Erdogan said that removing waste outside a country's borders does not eliminate the problem. It is only possible to repair the system with joint effort, she said, adding that Ankara has done that with its Zero Waste Project. “Our recovery rate, which was 13% five years ago, reached 27.2% in a short time and 30% in 2022,” she said. “Our goal is to reach 65% by 2035.”“With these gains, we have protected a land the size of 2,000 football fields. We have protected our water equivalent to the water needs of more than 2 million families for a year.
“We have provided energy savings equivalent to the energy needs of more than 200,000 families for a year. At the same time, we have offered new employment opportunities to thousands of our citizens,” she underlined. Stating that the climate crisis does not recognise any borders, Erdogan said Ankara is willing to share its experiences with others.
