COP31 summit begins in Turkey with urgent calls for global climate action
A report by the United Nations Environment Program published in October said the world was already set to overshoot 1.5C of warming above pre-industrial times, the threshold set in 2015.
The annual UN climate summit opened in Antalya, Turkey, on Monday, Nov. 9, according to Anadolu Agency and The Jerusalem Post. The Jerusalem Post reported that the gathering began with calls for global climate action, while Al-Monitor, carrying a Reuters report, said leaders urged countries to speed up efforts against global warming as the two-week meeting began. Al Jazeera reported Türkiye aims for electricity to make up 35 percent of global energy demand by 2035, and iheart.com reported the US is skipping the summit.
