What happened
The 31st Conference of Parties (COP31) opened in Antalya, Türkiye, under the presidency of Murat Kurum. During the opening session, Simon Stiell noted that 90 percent of large renewable projects are now cheaper than fossil fuels, but warned that fossil fuel cost chaos has delivered a global shockwave, increasing inflation. The conference aims to translate global climate commitments into concrete action, concentrating on emissions reduction, adaptation, and climate finance.
Why it matters
The summit emphasizes the need for climate finance and the economic fallout from fossil fuel volatility. Stiell warned that the current fossil fuel cost chaos is spreading inflation globally.
