In a nutshell
- Climate change is a global phenomenon. However, local differences in economic life, socio-demographic environment create a need to understand the local reflections of climate change.
- The sectoral composition of production and the rising spatial inequalities in developing countries increases concerns on the impact of climate change on different segments of society.
- Turkey with sizable spatial disparities is one of the most interesting examples. Eastern isolated and rural regions are observed to be extremely vulnerable to the impact of climate change.
- More remarkably, the impact of global warming on agricultural development is going to be more visible across this under-developed territory of the country.
