Responsible Consumption and Production in Turkey: Overview and Key Trends

Abstract

This study evaluates Türkiye’s performance in achieving the 12th Sustainable Development Goal on Responsible Consumption and Production. According to the Sustainable Development Report 2024, Türkiye ranks 72nd globally with an SDG index score of 70.5, performing below the OECD average of 77. While Türkiye demonstrates relative success in only the no poverty goal, classified under the challenges remain achievement status, the remaining goals are categorized as significant challenges and major challenges. Based on insights from global sustainability datasets, the study examines key indicators, including raw material use, marine eutrophication, fossil-fuel subsidies, municipal waste recycling, and renewable energy generation. Türkiye’s progress is assessed relative to global averages and selected country groups, revealing both achievements and areas for improvement. While Türkiye has shown improvements in some areas, such as renewable energy capacity and municipal waste recycling, challenges persist, particularly in hazardous waste management and sustainable public procurement practices.
