Turkiye 2026
Turkiye
Turkiye enters 2027 with rising emissions, a power fleet that has become mostly renewable by capacity, and a hazard regime that joins great earthquakes, drought and fire. Greenhouse-gas emissions were 584.5 Mt CO₂e in 2024, up 5.3% on 2023, and energy supplied 71.8% of the total.

01 · Readings
Turkiye in six readings.
Six readings that frame the Turkiye baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.
- WATWasser1 finding
1,308 m³ Renewable water per person, a year, 2024. □Gemeldet
About 1,308 m³ per person; reservoir and groundwater stress in drought years; Konya sinkholes.
- ENEEnergie2 findings
62% Renewables in installed power capacity, 2025. □Gemeldet
Renewables are 62% of capacity; coal still 34% of electricity; about 67% of primary energy imported.

Dense urban housing and lifeline stock in seismic zones; condition not bound at public-safe resolution.
- FOOErnährung1 finding
17.9 Mt Wheat harvest, 2025. □Gemeldet
Wheat output fell 13.7% in 2025 and is estimated to recover in 2026; food inflation about 38% in July 2026.
- HLTGesundheit1 finding
11.1% Population aged 65 or over, 2025. □Gemeldet
Younger than many peers; 11.1% aged 65 or over; heat-health burden not bound.

81,473 ha Forest land burned, 2025. □Gemeldet
81,473 ha of forest burned in 2025; protected-area share not bound to one definition.
Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 2, Finance 1, SEI 2, Systemic 1.
03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-TUR-DRT-01
A drought year across water, hydropower, wheat and budgets
Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.
5 of 12 findings name a hazard in their text. Show them
- 1CLI → WATreservoirs and groundwater fall; city supply is restricted
- 2CLI → ENEhydropower output falls; other plants and imports fill the gap
- 3CLI → FOOwheat output falls; imports rise
- 4FOO → FINfood prices pass into household budgets
- 5WAT → BIOdry forests burn more; protected and unprotected land is affected
- 6WAT → INFgroundwater drawdown opens sinkholes on farmland
04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The Turkiye matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core Systeme. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.
