National Stakeholders Identification (Türkiye)

[GCRI]

Welcome to the National Stakeholders Identification Thread for Türkiye!
This thread identifies and maps key stakeholders across sectors to support climate action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development efforts in Türkiye. We aim to engage relevant actors to mobilize climate finance and strengthen partnerships for the Global Risks Forum 2025 and other global frameworks, including the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage.

How You Can Contribute: Identify Stakeholders Across the Quintuple Helix Framework
1- Academia and Research: Universities, think tanks, and research institutions focusing on sustainability, climate policy, DRR, and biodiversity in Türkiye.

2- Industry and Business: Corporations, startups, and financial institutions involved in renewable energy, green technologies, and climate finance.
Example: Companies like Zorlu Energy, green tech startups, financial institutions promoting sustainable investment products, and renewable energy providers working to accelerate Türkiye’s green energy transition.
