Özet
climate commitments in Despite significant international negotiations, a gap exists between climate finance pledges and actual delivery. This study examines the political and structural factors underlying this implementation gap and questions the intent behind global financial frameworks. Using qualitative document analysis, the article explores recipient-side challenges. By analyzing T & uuml;rkiye as a case in the grey zone, the study reveals how its Annex I classification under the UNFCCC acts as a structural barrier to concessional funding. Furthermore, the research highlights a critical policy contradiction where domestic coal and natural gas subsidies outweigh the international climate assistance received. In the end, findings suggest the gap reflects a malfunctioning climate governance system, requiring a shift toward polycentric, partnership-based approaches that empower recipients to co-design their green transitions.
