The BIST 100 Index was used as a benchmark index, and the daily returns of 66 businesses among 67 companies traded in XUSRD were used to compute Average Abnormal Returns (AAR) and Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAAR). Within the scope of the applied methodology, while determining the event window of -20 days +20 days based on the date of the event, 10.11.2021, 250 was taken into account as the estimation period. The Paris Agreement's implementation has an impact on the stock returns of the firms in XUSRD, it has been found based on the findings gathered. The presence of a predicted trend, however, could not be classified as either positive or negative. These findings led to the conclusion that, under the parameters of the anomaly under consideration, the market is not efficient in semi-strong form.
