Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that climate change represents a serious threat to humanity, saying its consequences are comparable to global wars and pandemics.
Speaking in Istanbul on Sunday, June 7, Erdogan said climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges facing humanity today.
He added that the world is currently in an era where new technologies and artificial intelligence are accelerating production, but uncontrolled and excessive consumption is placing significant pressure on nature.
The Turkish president also referred to his country’s environmental initiatives, noting that the “Zero Waste” movement has become a global initiative and has been recognized by the United Nations.
