This is just the most recent deal via Turkey's national energy company TurkishPetroleum, announced by the its energy minister Alparslan Bayraktar, Ph.D. - one can be curious if and when the COP31 president dares to mention the core driver of the climate crisis: fossil fuels.

➡️ Turkey will need to grapple with peaking oil demand. Stranded assets are a very real risk.

➡️ But the Turkish government should also face the clear needs for the urgent transition away from #fossilfuels - hosting this climate conference as a nice show about "waste management".
