Abstract
Significance Long droughts and longer summers due to climate change are lengthening the wildfire season. Yet wildfires are just one in a series of environmental crises that highlight the growing damage to the country’s environment not just from climate change but also from factors related to government policies. Impacts Prolonged droughts, frequent heatwaves and flash floods are causing severe damage to sensitive ecosystems, agriculture and fishing. Turkey is also exposed to the indirect effects of climate change, which contributes to regional conflicts and creates refugees. Criminalisation of environmental activism and repression of protests are raising social tensions and contributing to political polarisation.
