Climate change in Turkey causes negative impacts on many areas of the country, such as temperature, precipitation, drought, agriculture, biodiversity, and economy.

Temperature: The annual average temperature in Turkey is expected to increase by 2.5°C to 4°C. The temperatures will rise by 5 to 6 degrees in summer months, and by 2 to 3 degrees in winter months. This will result in heat waves, health problems, water evaporation, and glacier melting.

Precipitation: The amount and distribution of precipitation in Turkey will decrease, increasing the risk of drought and desertification. Although there will be an increase in precipitation in the eastern part of Northern Anatolia, there will be a decrease of up to 30% in the south. This will cause problems such as water scarcity, agricultural production decline, soil erosion, and floods.

Agriculture: The agricultural sector in Turkey is one of the most affected sectors by climate change. Temperature and precipitation changes will affect agricultural productivity, product quality, plant diseases, and pests. Yield reduction in basic agricultural products will increase food security and rural poverty problems.

Biodiversity: Turkey is a country with high biodiversity. However, climate change will cause the degradation of ecosystems, the extinction or migration of living species, and the change of biogeographic regions. This will result in the reduction of natural resources, the disruption of ecological balance, the spread of diseases and pests.

Economy: Turkey's economy will be negatively affected by climate change. Costs will increase, revenues will decrease, and employment losses will occur in sectors such as agriculture, energy, tourism, industry, transportation, health, and infrastructure. Economic resources will also be needed to take adaptation and mitigation measures for climate change.

Turkey ratified the Paris Agreement in 2021 to fight against climate change. However, this is not enough. More efforts are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, switch to renewable energy, increase energy efficiency, protect and increase forest areas, improve agricultural practices, manage water resources, protect biodiversity, and adapt to climate change.
