Iranian saffron production will be halved in 2050
Explaining the rainfall situation in different parts of Iran in the coming years, a member of the faculty of the Climatology Research Institute said: We will have heavy rains and showers in the future.
A member of the faculty of the Climatological Research Institute stated: The Zagros region is the place that will have the highest temperature increase and the greatest decrease in precipitation in the future. We have the forests of the Zagros in these areas, which must be protected in these conditions.
Babaian stated: The wetland of the Caspian Sea will be greatly reduced in 2100 and the area of dry areas will increase by 10%. Saffron production in 2050 will decrease by more than 50% due to global warming. Rainfall in the Kashfarud basin also decreases by 7 to 19 percent.
According to the latest report we have received from greenhouse gases, the amount of gas produced in the world is not in accordance with the agreement, he said. Even if all countries fully comply with the Paris Agreement, we will still have a two-degree increase in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, which we should increase to one and a half. For the past five years, however, we have not only failed to comply with the agreement, but our greenhouse gas emissions have also increased.
