Türkiye wants COP31 to turn climate pledges into action
Türkiye wants the COP31 U.N. Climate Summit in Antalya to focus on turning climate commitments into concrete action, Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum has said.
Speaking during London Climate Action Week, Kurum said the summit should produce practical results in areas that directly affect people’s lives, from energy bills and transport to waste management and resilient cities.
Kurum, Türkiye’s COP31 president-designate, said the international community was meeting at a time of overlapping economic, security and climate pressures.
He said Türkiye had shaped its COP31 agenda after consultations with parties and had identified areas where progress could be made.
