JEDDAH: The Islamic Development Bank Group has partnered with Turkiye’s Ministry of Industry and Technology to advance sustainable manufacturing and infrastructure as part of a broader push to modernize the country’s industrial zones and accelerate its green transition.
The initiative supports Turkiye’s 2053 net-zero emissions target and aligns with the 12th National Development Plan (2024–28) and the 2030 Industry and Technology Strategy.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the project aims to cluster industrial enterprises within designated zones, reducing environmental impact and promoting climate-conscious development.
While Turkiye has committed to peak emissions by 2038 and reach net zero by 2053, independent assessments question the feasibility of this goal.
Climate Action Tracker has rated the strategy as “poor,” citing a lack of ambition and transparency, and warning that the 15-year window to net zero is overly compressed.
