88% of Turkey's land is at risk of desertification. The UN report reveals the impacts of climate change.

The drought experienced in the last two years indicates that Turkey will face a serious drought risk by 2030. The Mediterranean region is among the most affected areas due to rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall.

The report predicts an average temperature increase of 2-3 degrees by 2050. Each 2-degree increase will reduce access to water by 15%.

Turkey is among the countries most affected by drought due to the increasing likelihood of a climate similar to desert climates. It is predicted that rainfall will decrease by 30% by the end of the 21st century.

80% of agricultural areas are at risk of drought. The report emphasizes the need for significant investments in the management and utilization of water resources.
