  "account": "The United Nations (UN) annual climate summit, COP31, is set to commence next week in Antalya, Türkiye. This year, the gathering will take place amidst energy turmoil, wars, soaring food prices, and an intensifying El Niño. The agenda will primarily focus on climate finance, fossil fuels, and the burden of global warming as nearly 200 countries participate in the summit.\n\nSayantan Bera, a National Editor at Mint, provides insights into what attendees can expect from the summit. As part of the Long Story team, Bera specializes in writing about food and nutrition, agriculture, rural economy, and climate change. He believes that understanding how various sectors of the economy, and humanity as a whole, contribute to and are impacted by the climate crisis is a defining story of our time.\n\nBefore joining Mint in 2014, Bera worked as a correspondent and photographer for Down to Earth, an environment fortnightly, covering eastern Indian states. He wrote on topics such as mining, environment, forests, tribes, and farming. With over 17 years of journalism experience, most of which was spent at Mint, Bera has honed his skills in storytelling, focusing on human-interest stories without bias.\n\nBera holds a Master's and M.Phil. in Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
