Turkey faces significant environmental challenges including severe droughts, record low rainfall in 52 years (26% below average in 2024-2025), rising temperatures (e.g., July 2025 hottest in 55 years at +1.9°C), and increasing extreme weather like wildfires and floods due to climate change. Water crisis affects 88% of the country risking desertification, while policies rate highly insufficient for 1.5°C goals with emissions still rising. Sustainability efforts include renewable targets but lack fossil fuel phase-out.
