Abstract
The report is organized in seven
chapters. Following the introductory chapter, chapter two
sets the stage by reviewing the structure of Turkey's
economy and its performance, as well as the challenges and
opportunities provided by Turkey's current growth path
from implementing a 'green agenda' linked to
achieving standards set by European Union (EU) Directives
and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) principles; this is followed by a review of where
Turkey stands compared to developed and emerging economies,
in terms of what is broadly understood as a comprehensive
approach to green growth. Chapter three uses a narrower,
more operational, definition of green growth for the
purposes of the analysis undertaken in the policy note.
Chapter four presents an assessment of the seven strategic
sectors selected for a more focused analysis. It also
highlights the greening potential within these sectors.
Chapter five reviews the range of policy instruments
available in the European Union (EU) and other emerging
international experiences, as well as the relevance of these
policy options to the objectives of the policy note. Chapter
six presents the economy-wide framework and the results of
the pilot economic 'impact analysis' of two types
of greening scenarios: an urban scenario (linked to
production and consumption by firms and households) and a
rural scenario focused on agriculture. Finally, chapter
seven concludes with an initial set of recommendations.
