I consider Turkey’s conundrum against the backdrop of its speculation-led growth patterns and ongoing fossil fuel-based production cycle and highlight the tradeoffs and dilemmas of the pursuit for green abatement policies, given the logic of financialization. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessclimate crisisDe-carbonizationnet zero emission targetsspeculation-led growthTurkeyArticle10.1080/2329194X.2023.22599482-s2.0-85171746854
