Climate change will have an impact on the production, logistics and service sectors necessary for human life. We can briefly summarize these under three main headings.
– Effects on infrastructures: Climatic events such as high temperatures, extreme cold, increasing severity and frequency of frost, hail, rain, snow, hurricanes, especially dams, roads, power plants, ports, airports, greenhouses, solar power plants, etc. It will cause devastating effects on structures. These effects can be acute effects such as breakage, explosion, collapse, fire, and chronic effects that can lead to inefficiency such as corrosion, cracking, sand filling or contamination.
– Effects on production: In agriculture; Production damages such as destruction of gardens, fields, greenhouses and fish farms, death of animals, dreams, inability to become pregnant, and excessive weight loss may occur. Disruptions in energy transmission and transportation, collapse and fractures in fixed structures, mining in raw material supply sources, etc. A decrease in industrial production may occur as a result of collapse and migration, labor force access problems, and deterioration of preservation and transportation infrastructures.
– Effects on services: Weather events resulting from climate change will cause disruptions in the service sector due to problems in transportation and energy transmission lines and risks occurring in physical spaces. Long-term climate-related risks will cause intra-country, inter-regional and inter-continental human migration, resulting in loss of jobs and quality in the service sector. Significant disruptions can be expected in some services as a result of the decrease in the energy needed and the mobility of people and goods, especially in education and health services.
