Australia leads COP31 talks as UN summit opens in Antalya

The UN climate summit COP31 opened in Antalya on 9 November after a delayed start, and delegates engaged in heated negotiations over climate finance and a proposed electrification pledge. The United Nations warned that global temperatures are on track to exceed the 1. 5 °C target.

Australia’s climate minister Chris Bowen led the COP31 negotiation team, a role highlighted as the country faces scrutiny over its large coal and gas export industry. More than 90 heads of state and officials from nearly 190 countries gathered in Antalya to discuss implementing greenhouse-gas reduction targets and climate finance. UK Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh said Britain’s participation was vital to protect the country from worsening climate impacts and to capture green-economy opportunities.
