Abstract :While the global public is struggling with Covid-19 and the subsequent inflation, war and energy crisis, climate change has turned into a forgotten crisis. However, with the increasing number of disasters caused by extreme weather events in different continents of the world, climate change has started to attract attention all over the world. Extreme weather events such as global warming, floods and hurricanes, which are the result of global climate change, not only affect the lives of societies, but also affect logistics and supply chains. The first spots to see the effects of extreme weather conditions as a result of climate change are the production centers in different parts of the world and the international logistics sector, which ensures that the goods produced in these facilities reach the markets. By this study, the qualitative effects of climate change on supply chains were investigated and this research is expected to shed light on the effects of climate change on international logistics activities.Keywords : Climate Change, Global Warming, Logistics, Supply Chain
