Samed Ağırbaş stressed that the zero-waste approach goes beyond waste management, promoting more efficient resource use and changes in production and consumption.
He highlighted the need for stronger projects, financing, and innovative technologies, including AI, to advance climate solutions. He said COP31 can help transform climate ambitions into tangible investment opportunities by bringing governments, investors, and businesses together.
