Record Temperatures and Climate Change: A Warning for Turkey

Heatwaves affecting our region have begun to set new records. The temperature of 50.5°C, the highest ever recorded in our country's history, is the most tangible indicator of this new and searing reality.

Our State of Preparedness: Urban Planning and Forests

In the face of this new climatic reality, it cannot be said that we are sufficiently prepared, neither in urban planning nor in forest protection. This situation reveals our vulnerability to more serious problems that may arise in the future.

Climate Change: A Priority Issue and an Action Plan

Climate change is an undeniable reality, and it is clear that the situation will not improve. Therefore, it has become a necessity to address this issue as a nationwide priority. Detailed plans must be made for all scenarios on a city-by-city, region-by-region basis, and a clear course of action for emergency conditions must be determined in advance.

Looking to the Future: Where Are Our Climate Conditions Headed?

If the necessary steps are not taken, it is quite clear that our geography is headed for drier and hotter climate conditions with rising temperatures. Heeding this warning and taking action is one of the most critical steps for our future.
