Nazan An and Tufan Turp from Boğaziçi University’s Center for Climate Change and Policy Studies performed an evaluation of temperature rise and precipitation adjustments primarily based on local weather change eventualities, portraying a relatively pessimistic outlook for Türkiye by the top of the century.
The research underscored that the temperature rise within the Mediterranean basin, together with Türkiye, will surpass the worldwide improve, and the forecasts for the basin point out important reductions in rainfall by the top of the century.
Sharing the expected temperature improve and precipitation adjustments utilizing local weather fashions, the research forewarned of an exacerbation of drought towards the top of the century, which in flip is predicted to amplify water stress, doubtlessly triggering social tensions, conflicts and migrations.
According to An and Turp’s analysis, the anticipated rise in world temperatures will likely be most acutely felt within the southeastern Anatolia and japanese Anatolia areas of the nation. The Marmara area, resulting from its excessive inhabitants density, will even bear a disproportionately heavier socio-economic burden from local weather change impacts.
The research advised that the scenario will considerably deteriorate within the final quarter of the century. In the distant future, between 2074 and 2099, a discount in precipitation throughout all of Türkiye and a exceptional improve in common temperatures are anticipated.
In addition to the general reducing pattern in precipitation, there will even be a rise within the depth, frequency and geographic scope of utmost rainfall occasions in varied areas, notably within the japanese Black Sea and southwest Marmara areas, which might result in flash floods and epidemics.
