LIVE: UN Climate Chief And COP31 President Call For Solutions As Climate Summit Opens In Turkey
The 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) opens in Antalya, Turkey, bringing together delegates, climate leaders and representatives from nearly 200 countries to address the growing climate crisis. UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell urges governments to move beyond promises and accelerate practical climate solutions, including expanding renewable energy, reducing methane emissions and strengthening climate finance for vulnerable nations. COP31 President Murat Kurum calls for greater international cooperation, dialogue and concrete action, stressing the need to turn existing climate commitments into measurable results. Australia’s climate minister Chris Bowen, who leads the negotiations, also calls for urgent collective action as countries face rising temperatures, extreme weather events and growing pressure to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate goals. The November 9–20 summit focuses on climate financing, clean energy transition, emissions reduction and support for communities most vulnerable to global warming.
