In a nutshell
- Turkey has faced various circumstances stemming from climate change, such as rising temperatures, drought, unseasonable rains, and the increasing prevalence of extreme weather events.
- In the 2011-2019 period, there were many remarkable deviations from long-term averages observed in Turkey for annual average temperatures and precipitation.
- The estimates show a significant climate change impact on household food consumption behavior through price and budget channels.
- We have shown that the price effect on non-food consumption decreases more in regions where climate change exists than regions with no significant change in climate figures.
