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.

  • 86.09millionpopulation, 31 December 2025 [1]
  • 34.9tahunmedian age, 2025 [1]
  • 584.5Mt CO₂eemissions, 2024 [2]
  • ≈67%primary energy imported, 2024 [15]
  • 122.5GWinstalled power capacity, end 2025 [17]
  • 93.6%living in province and district centres, 2025 [1]

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.

    About 1,308 m³ per person; reservoir and groundwater stress in drought years; Konya sinkholes.

    81,473 ha Forest land burned, 2025. Dilaporkan

    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.

04 · Couplings

How the sectors carry risk into each other.

The Turkiye matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core sistem. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

WAT-007TurkiyeWAT Air DilaporkanRenewable water per person fell from 1,652 m³ in 2000 to about 1,308 m³ in 2024; Istanbul’s reservoirs held 24.7% on 17 October 2025, and about 684 sinkholes have been counted on the Konya Plain.
FOO-008TurkiyeFOO Pangan DilaporkanThe 2025 wheat harvest was about 17.9 million tonnes, down 13.7%; FAO estimates a record 22.8 million tonnes for 2026, and annual food inflation was about 38% in July 2026.
HLT-009TurkiyeHLT Kesehatan Dilaporkan9.58 million people, 11.1% of the population, were aged 65 or over in 2025; the foreign population was 1.52 million, and about 2.4 million Syrians were under temporary protection at the end of 2025.
BIO-010TurkiyeBIO Keanekaragaman hayati DilaporkanWildfires burned 81,473 ha of forest land in 2025, and about 3.8 million ha were under legal protection at the end of 2025.
