A woman touches a piece of melting ice on the Cilo glacier of Turkey's southeastern Hakkari province on July 13, 2025. As global temperatures rise amid human-caused climate change, new sections of the mountains that were once capped in ice are melting fast year after year. A UN report on desertification worldwide estimates that 88 percent of Turkey's territory is at risk: rainfall is expected to decrease by 30 percent by the end of the century, while temperatures are expected to rise by 5 to 6C compared to the averages recorded between 1961 and 1990.
