Ankara:Turkish first lady Emine Erdogan has called for concrete measures to address the climate crisis, emphasizing the need to go beyond mere reports and warnings. As the chair of the UN Secretary-General's Advisory Board of Eminent Persons on Zero Waste, she highlighted the importance of translating knowledge into decisive actions.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, Erdogan expressed her views on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal. She stated, "We are now at a point where we must move beyond reports, warnings and targets highlighting the scale of the climate crisis.

This meeting took place alongside COP31, underscoring the urgency of addressing environmental issues globally.
