Yapı Kredi became the first institution to commit to the “Business Ambition for 1.5°C” to the Science Based Target Initiative.

The emission reduction targets to be determined by Yapı Kredi will be publicly announced after verification by the international initiative, the Science-Based Targets Initiative. Thus, the bank, which will play an important role in the fight against climate change, will contribute to the environment in line with the targets of the Paris Agreement, which limits the increase in global warming to below 2°C, ideally to 1.5°C.

Global carbon dioxide emissions stopped growing in 2019, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has claimed in a new report.

According to the report released today, global CO2 emissions held at around 33 gigatonnes (Gt) last year, following two years of increases. The authors attribute the apparent good news to the expansion of renewable wind and solar energy sources, nations switching from coal to natural gas energy generation, and additional nuclear power output.
