Özet

In the last century, the effects of climate change caused by the increasing greenhouse effect as a result of human activities have started to be felt intensely in our lives. Assessing the potential impacts of climate change on environmental and natural systems is crucial for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. Therefore, estimating how the climate will change regarding different scenarios should be examined and coping strategies should be put forward in the light of these expectations. The aim of this paper is to present the global scale climate change and its reflections over Türkiye in particular. In this context, climate scenarios and climate models on which future climate projections are based were examined. The spatial and temporal changes of global mean temperatures and precipitation within the Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios of global modeling studies will be presented. Future climate projections for Türkiye produced for medium and high emission scenarios using regional climate models will be evaluated. Moreover, to discuss the potential consequences of climate change over the waters of Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, investigations on various regional climate models in terms of temperature and precipitation will be presented.
