The country, which is most affected by the increase in temperature due to crucible climate change, has been revealed that there was a full weather in Türkiye during the year 2024. In Türkiye, which has an average increase in temperature of 0.4 degrees in every 10 years, the deterioration of temperature balances causes a significant increase in extreme weather events. Finally, the report published by Ekosfer Association conducting researches on climate research, the climate disaster waiting for Türkiye once again revealed.
We will return to the desert in 2100
If the precaution is not taken, the increase of diseases and deaths due to heat -related diseases and deaths will increase in the report, “Turkey, the Mediterranean basin and the heating of the desert belt in the south is at risk for hot waves. According to the global temperature increase scenarios in 2100, the average temperature increase in Türkiye is 4.5 degrees in the west and 6 degrees in the east.”
1300 deaths in 3 waves
In the report, which underlined that only 3 342 deaths took place even in only 3 hot air waves in Istanbul, people over 75 years and older people, cardiovascular disease and women are in the more risky group for heat-related disease and death. Early warning system prevented 4 thousand 400 extra deaths in France. Türkiye needs comprehensive hot-health action plans “ His opinions were listed.
35 percent flood and flood
The report also pointed out the following determinations: “The excessive weather incidents increased with the climate crisis and the increasing violence did not slow down in 2024. According to the data of the General Directorate of Meteorology, 257 thousand over the air event was seen last year. The second year of the excessive weather has been seen in the last two years. The average of 1991-2020 increased by 1.7 degrees to 15.6 degrees. The winter and summer seasons in the year we left behind the hottest winter and summer seasons were recorded. “
Remedy edible energy
Barış Eceçelik, a member of the Board of Directors of Ekosfer Association, stated that the effects of the climate crisis were felt with both the increase in temperature and excessive weather events and said: “More importantly, we witnessed that these events cause direct loss of life and property.The forest fire in Zmir reached the settlements and a person who was stranded in the underpass due to flood in Antalya died. 76 sheep lost their lives due to lightning in Amasya. These events, which increased their severity and frequency with the climate crisis, became more painful due to lack of infrastructure and lack of measures. The only solution is to use energy smarter and reduce consumption, but also increase the use of renewable energy. “
Desertification is inevitable
What do the experts say?
Dursun Yıldız (President of the Water Policy Association)
“The resulting data should worry about all of us. Curve in temperature increase can cause water resources to exhaust in the near future. We need to implement water strategy plans against 2100 scenarios that will turn Türkiye into the desert.
Prof. Dr. Mustafa Öztürk (former Undersecretary of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization)
“The increase in temperature values leads to high pressure -dependent pollution. In the next summer and near future, desertification due to drought will be inevitable in Istanbul, Thrace, Central Anatolia, Southeastern Anatolia and Eastern Anatolia in the near future.”
