  "account": "The 31st UN Climate Conference is set to take place in Antalya, Turkey, from November 9, with tens of thousands of delegates attending. 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 that the world is on track for a 2.8°C increase by the end of the century. The conference will focus on finding solutions, including a proposed global goal to increase the share of electric energy to 35% by 2035, and efforts to transition away from fossil fuels.",
  "summary": "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 switch to emergency mode after all.",
