As a result of human activities, the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has accelerated, especially in the last century. This increase has caused global climate change all over the world. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the effects of climate change by considering the temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, number of rainy days, minimum and average surface temperature and snow thickness data recorded in Nevşehir province, which is located in the arid-semi-arid climate zone, during the last 60 years. According to the results of the study, the minimum, average and maximum temperature values have increased as in the rest of the world. Relative humidity has decreased on average over long years. It was also found that minimum surface temperatures, which are important for agricultural activities, have also tended to increase. In line with these data, snowfall has also decreased. However, when averaged over long years, the amount of precipitation has increased. This occurred despite a decrease in the number of rainy days. It has been found that this increase in rainfall is due to an increase in rain intensity, which increases the risk of flooding. On the other hand, according to the projections made by the IPCC and the General Directorate of Meteorology of the Republic of Turkey, it is concluded that temperatures may increase in the near and distant future, but precipitation may decrease significantly. As a result, it has been found that the effects of global climate change are felt in different regions of the world as well as in Nevşehir province. It is therefore clear that no strategic plans have been made to minimise the impact of global climate change on agriculture, livestock, tourism and water resources, and that action should be taken before it is too late.
