Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources

The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı) is the government ministry of Republic of Turkey responsible for natural resources and energy in Turkey. The ministry is headed by Alparslan Bayraktar. Despite the ministry being represented on the Climate Change and Air Management Coordination Board, the European Commission has criticised the lack of co-ordination between policy on climate change in Turkey and the energy policy of Turkey. The net zero by 2053 target was reportedly set without consulting the ministry, and as of 2023 the ministry has not published a plan to meet the target.
