YASED Members' Best Practices Initiative

YASED members’ global solutions to Türkiye’s green future: a YASED arrow formed by trees in a forest.

A multimedia showcase of sustainability solutions and practices developed by YASED members in Türkiye, demonstrating how international investors are turning climate commitments into concrete, on-the-ground action.

Through case studies, short films and interactive displays, the showcase highlights innovations in areas such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, circular economy and low-carbon manufacturing, offering a practical look at what works and why. Supported by digital content and a dedicated publication, it will bring these best practices together in one place and serve as a reference for investors, policymakers and partners well beyond the event itself.

Strategic COP31 Reports

On the road to COP31, YASED prepared two reports highlighting the importance of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and of leveraging foreign direct investment for climate objectives, each offering concrete policy recommendations for decision-makers. Both reports were shared with YASED’s wider stakeholder network and refined through an extensive consultation process.

COP31 Live: Leaders’ Studio

YASED’s dedicated interview studio in Antalya will host CEOs, regional executives, policymakers and institutional leaders for in-depth conversations that go beyond the formal COP31 agenda. Complemented by on-site interviews in the Blue and Green Zones, the content will reach a global audience through YASED’s digital channels.

Daily Insights

Every morning, a 10-minute daily briefing will recap what happened at COP31 yesterday, preview what is on today’s agenda, and translate these developments into timely business, investment and policy implications. A YASED tradition at every COP, this much-awaited online broadcast has become a fixture for our community. Broadcasting from the field, we connect the entire YASED network, wherever they are, with what is happening at COP31 and open a two-way channel between the conference floor and the world.

In cooperation with The Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Investment and Finance Office, YASED organized the summit titled “Investment Summit on the Road to COP31: Mobilizing International Green Investments” ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference - COP31, which Türkiye will host in Antalya in November.

Held on 23 October 2026 at the Ziraat Bank Headquarters Auditorium at the Istanbul Finance Center, the summit took a comprehensive look at Türkiye’s potential to attract international green investments and the opportunities it offers in this field. We assessed the policy frameworks and financing mechanisms needed to strengthen Türkiye’s position in the global green investment ecosystem, and we also brought to the table practices and investment opportunities that support sustainable transformation across different sectors.
