Horizon Consulting Co-Founder Eser Erginoğlu explained that the aim is to reduce the carbon emissions, which have the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. He detailed how to price carbon and what businesses should do in the adaptation process. He informed that three new approaches are on the agenda to reduce carbon emissions to zero in these sectors.

At the meeting, it was emphasized that the Border Carbon Regulation, which has become the most important agenda in the European market, where most of the exports are realized, should not become a non-tariff obstacle.

Berna Bildik, Environmental Engineer at the Turkish Standards Institute, explained the greenhouse gas reporting and verification systems with her presentation. She made assessments about the certification and scope of these processes.
