Almost all ski resorts in Turkey and Europe are at high risk due to increasing temperature

Almost all ski resorts in Turkey and Europe are in a high risk zone due to an increase in temperature. The corresponding study is published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Work, which studies 2234 ski resorts throughout Europe, including Turkey, shows the high risks that ski resorts will encounter if a global increase in temperature in this century will reach 3 degrees.

Half of the world ski resort is located in Europe and 91 percent of these objects will face a shortage of snow cover against the background of global warming.

Under these conditions, all the ski resorts in Turkey will be at high risk.

Without artificial production of snow and reduction to the prescribed level of global greenhouse emissions, 100 percent of Turkish ski resorts will encounter a very high risk of snow cover.

This indicator at the ski resort on the Swiss Alps is 87 percent, 70 percent on the Scandinavian mountains, 93 percent on the French Alps, 94 percent on the Astrian Alps, on Bavarian and Italian Alps – 100 percent at the Carpathians – on the Carpathians – at the Bavarian and Italian Alps. 91 percent.
