What happened
The COP31 climate summit is currently underway in Antalya, Turkey, with the conference scheduled to run from November 9 to 20. President Tayyip Erdogan stated that expecting all countries to achieve the same climate policy progress is unrealistic due to existing financing gaps. The action agenda includes targets such as raising electricity's share of energy consumption to 35 per cent by 2035 and cutting projected increases in municipal waste by half. Australia is leading formal negotiations at COP31, with Turkey responsible for the presidency and action agenda.

Why it matters
The conference addresses critical global issues, including the viability of current climate commitments and the necessary financing for adaptation. Separately, the outgoing UN Chief Antonio Guterres criticized the energy industry, stating that major oil companies have treated the atmosphere like an 'open sewer.' He noted that while five major Western oil companies profited heavily since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, only $34 billion had been mobilized for developing country adaptation.
Talks are underway in Bonn, setting the stage for the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, with key discussions including the tripling of adaptation finance targets.
