Global average temperatures have risen more than 1.5°C compared to the pre-industrial era. Notably, the year 2024 has gone down in history as the hottest year on record.
Fossil fuels account for approximately 76% of global greenhouse gas emissions, releasing 36.3 billion tons of CO₂ each year.
According to basin-based projections in Turkey, the average temperature is expected to rise between 2.5°C and 4°C by the year 2100.
The loss of approximately 10 million hectares of forest each year hinders carbon absorption, further intensifying climate change.
Sectors such as agriculture, livestock, and natural gas production emit around 570 million tons of methane, rapidly accelerating climate change. The industrial sector also produces large amounts of CO₂ emissions.
