Kılca reminded that they submitted the VLR Report they prepared to the United Nations in 2021, and said the following: “We, the Karatay Municipality, have submitted our Voluntary Local Review to the UN and we are currently in the monitoring process. As you know, the UN has made the Sustainable Development Goals consisting of 17 main titles and 169 sub-titles such as combating hunger, poverty, and climate change, starting from 2016 until 2030, an obligation on all governments and local authorities. As one of the local governments, we also submitted our report and categorized all our works in accordance with these goals. We make all our investments and projects in line with the Sustainable Development Goals within the framework of our strategic plans. We have made all our investments, from education to health, from the construction of our parks and gardens to the strengthening of our infrastructure, with our own resources. Therefore, as Karatay Municipality, we are debt-free and we have not used any loan in any way.”
