Emine Erdoğan’s UNGA Agenda: Zero Waste Initiatives and African Cuisine
During the recent United Nations General Assembly in New York City, Turkish first lady Emine Erdoğan was actively engaged in promoting various initiatives and raising awareness on important global issues. She participated in bilateral meetings, signed the Global Zero Waste Declaration, and emphasized the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation.
One of Erdoğan’s key projects is the Zero Waste Project, aimed at addressing climate change by managing waste more effectively. This project, supported by the Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change, focuses on waste prevention, resource optimization, and promoting recycling. Erdoğan also met with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss the progress of the Zero Waste Project.
Additionally, the first lady hosted events to promote African culture and cuisine, strengthen ties with African countries, and showcase traditional Turkish hospitality. She also highlighted the importance of children and women’s rights, supporting initiatives for literacy and equitable access to education in Turkey.
Erdoğan’s efforts in promoting sustainability, cultural diplomacy, and social issues not only benefit Turkey but also contribute to global advocacy for a more just and equitable world. Her commitment to environmental conservation, women’s and children’s rights, and fostering international cooperation reflects her dedication to making a positive impact on current and future generations.
