Des trous d'eau géants s'ouvrent dans des champs de céréales du sud-est de la Turquie, trois mois avant que ne se tienne la conférence internationale sur le climat.
Ces fentes menacent les cultures et posent un problème concret pour les agriculteurs locaux qui subissent déjà une sécheresse sévère. L'événement survient au moment où la Turquie accueille ses propres négociations climatiques internes, ajoutant une urgence politique à une crise physique.
Local researchers attribute this unusual water breakthrough to climate change and high thermal retention of dry soils. They believe that previous weather models did not capture this type of unprecedented phenomenon.
The international community must decide on this subject before COP31, where countries would try to reduce their global emissions. Turkish farmers are now waiting for national and international financial aid to save their annual harvest.
A regional official called on the United Nations to prioritize this environmental disaster in the next round of multilateral talks.
This case serves as a reminder that climate change is already directly affecting the world's most vulnerable food systems, long before diplomatic agreements become binding.
