“…By 2030, it is predicted that climate change will be a factor in an additional 250,000 fatalities yearly [1]. Depending on a number of variables, different parts of the world will experience global climate change in various ways [7]. Heat and other extreme weather conditions are climate change stressors that have been related to several detrimental effects on mental health, including higher rates of suicide and psychological distress, exacerbated symptoms of psychiatric diseases, and increased mortality among those who have mental health issues [8].…”

Global climate change is driven by increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere such as CO2, O3, CH4 and N2O. Global warming heats nights faster than days, and that climate change causes seven million deaths per year and will cause 250,000 more by 2030. It affects different regions, mental health, species distribution, and biodiversity loss. Efforts have been made to reduce emissions by various actors. In this study in greenhouse gas emissions between 2015-2021 from different sectors in Türkiye has been examined. The data is fetched from Climate TRACE website. According to the results, Türkiye's CO2 emissions have increased significantly from 2015 to 2021, with manufacturing and power sectors accounting for 55 % and 58 % of total emissions respectively. Agriculture emissions have decreased by 75 %, indicating a decline in production. Türkiye's total CH4 emissions increased from 3.25 M tons in 2015 to 3.5 M tons in 2021, with the waste production causing the highest emissions. Population growth and increasing wealth are the main reasons for waste generation. Agriculture and fossil fuels also contribute to CH4 emissions. N2O emissions are mainly from agriculture and manufacturing and increasing every year. Türkiye's economic and population growth is triggering emissions. Increased greenhouse gas emissions in Türkiye could lead to air pollution, health issues, and economic and social disruptions, necessitating state control and evaluation of sectors for sustainability.
