Climate change
In 2018 a report outlining carbon market policy options for Turkey was submitted to the board.[2]
Criticism
As of 2019[update] the Health Ministry is not actively involved in the permitting of industrial facilities, such as coal-fired power stations, which cause deaths due to air pollution.[3]
Despite the Energy Ministry being represented on the board, in 2018 the European Commission criticised the lack of co-ordination between the climate change policy and energy policy of Turkey.[4] As of February 2019[update] energy policy still included mining more coal[5] and subsidizing coal-fired power stations.[6] As of 2022 the board's decisions are not binding.[7]
Although the Health and Agriculture Ministries coordinate with each other, there is no formal agreement between Health and Energy or Transport as of 2022.[8]
