We combine EXIOBASE3, Household Budget Surveys, and Time-Use Surveys to examine time-use emissions in Türkiye. Our main finding is that essential personal time activities—particularly basic eating and drinking—account for a much larger share of emissions in Türkiye than in wealthier economies, even though they occupy a comparable share of daily time, highlighting unique challenges and policy areas for emission reduction in a developing country context. We also identify other key time-use activities driving emissions across employment and gender groups. Policy implications are discussed.
