What happened
The 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) is currently underway in Antalya, Türkiye, focusing on accelerating global climate action and implementation of the Paris Agreement. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for urgent action against the climate crisis, stronger international cooperation, and fairer climate financing. The conference presidency, led by Murat Kurum, aims to move beyond climate pledges to concrete results.
Why it matters
Discussions at COP31 highlight significant gaps in climate finance, as previous talks failed to establish a finance work programme. Leaders are warning that failure to meet Paris Agreement targets will increase risks and costs facing humanity, while the conference emphasizes the need for concrete implementation of existing commitments.
Türkiye is setting the agenda for COP31 in Bonn to support Paris Agreement implementation, with talks led by UN climate chief Simon Stiell.
