Abstract:

 


The aim of this study was to review the effects of
climate change on the agricultural sector of Turkey. The main
policy documents and the literature related
with climate change were used as material in this study. According to the
results, global average surface temperature
had increased by 0.4-0.8 0C since 1860s and it would increase by 1.4
to 5.8 0C over the 1990-2100 period. In Turkey, it was estimated
that the temperature would increase by 1.7 in 2050 and 5.1 in 2080. This
climate estimation show also that the effects of climate change would occur
severely in Turkey. Therefore, Turkey has tried to mitigate and
adapt to the effects of climate change, its current actions could not be seen enough to meet the effects of future
climate changes on the agricultural sector. Changing climate in Turkey would cause
considerable losses in the yield of crops at an increasing rate. Climate change should be an issue not only for the
government and industry, but also for the scientists and farmers. Mitigation
and adaptation strategies can help to minimize negative impacts of climate
change and this need to increase expenditures in research, technology,
infrastructure, institutional innovation, data collection and policy support.
