Climate change in Turkey
Impact of global warming on Turkey and adaptation to it / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Droughts and heatwaves are the main hazards due to the climate of Turkey getting hotter.[4][5] The temperature has risen by more than 1.5 °C (2.7 °F),[6][2] and there is more extreme weather.[7]

Current greenhouse gas emissions are over 1% of the global total,[8] and energy policy includes subsidizing both fossil gas[9] and coal.[10] Annual per person emissions since the late-2010s have varied around six and a half tonnes,[11] which is about the global average.[12] However historical emissions are less than 1% of the global total.[13]
The Environment Ministry co-ordinates adaptation to climate change, which has been planned for water resources by river basin, and for agriculture. Climate change was recently added to school education.[14] An emission trading system is part of a draft climate law, but the draft has been criticised for omitting coal phase out.[15]
