ANKARA (AA) - The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his gratitude to Türkiye’s first lady Emine Erdogan for supporting zero waste initiatives during a conference in New York.
“A responsible waste production and consumption is key to the achievement of the Global Goals,” a UN statement said on Twitter.
Responding to the statement, Emine Erdogan said: "In a short span of time, over 20 First Ladies, ministers, and representatives of international organizations have signed "The Global Commitment to Zero Waste” which we initiated with (Antonio Guterres). Together, through a joint effort, we will achieve the global #ZeroWaste goal."
Last week, the Turkish first lady and Guterres signed a goodwill document to extend Türkiye’s Zero Waste project around the world.
They held a meeting at the UN headquarters which tackled environmental issues, including the Zero Waste project launched in Türkiye by the first lady in 2017.
