Abstract: Climate change has negatively affected the entire ecosystem from past to present. The increasing population, especially with the development of industry, has led to excessive consumption and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Today, climate change is seen as a serious environmental problem and important studies and research are carried out on this subject. In order to find a solution to this problem that affects the whole world, scientists come together at conferences on the subject. Increasing rainfall, floods, landslides, drought and air pollution due to increasing greenhouse gases on a global scale pose a fatal threat to agricultural areas, food security and clean water resources. Many studies were described in this review article. Information was given about marine protected areas established for marine life affected by climate change. In particular, the negative effects of climate change on human health and psychology in Turkey and the world were mentioned.
