World Climate Conference COP31: Climate Summit in Turkey – What it's about and what's holding it back
The climate crisis is escalating - but the world is distracted by wars and conflicts. The World Climate Conference in Antalya will show whether the countries will still switch to emergency mode.
The 31st UN Climate Conference is set to take place in Antalya, Turkey, with tens of thousands of delegates attending over two weeks. The conference aims to address the escalating climate crisis, which has led to unprecedented wildfires, heatwaves, and droughts in Europe, and devastating floods in Nepal and China. Despite the Paris climate agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C, current projections indicate a rise of 2.8°C by the end of the century.
Experts stress the need for urgent action, including a shift away from fossil fuels and increased investment in renewable energy.
