ABSTRACT
The European Union (EU), like the rest of the world, has made reducing greenhouse gas emissions a high priority since they represent a significant danger in the fight against climate change. To lessen the threat posed by the climate issue, the European Union (EU) introduced the European Green Deal. Non-EU nations are subject to an obligation under the Green Deal's Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism (BCDM). Research is being done to find out what hazards this presents for our nation and how it will affect EU exports, which make up a sizable portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This study explores the preparedness of the Turkish cement sector for the transition process. An examination of the data reveals that carbon emission targets are often set in percentage terms rather than absolute values. Initial and target values are not clearly stated, necessitating greater transparency and increased numerical data content in reports. This highlights the need for the cement sector, which is expected to be competitive, to accelerate its preparations for the green transition phase and to elaborate its reporting efforts.
