The climate meeting "Cup 31" will take place on Wednesday, November 11 in Antalya, Turkey, with the presence of the leaders of the countries of the meeting of Cup 31, after a year of extreme heat waves in Europe with widespread fires, catastrophic floods in Nepal and the strongest El Nino weather phenomenon.
Agence France-Presse reported that observers do not expect significant developments at the CUP 31 meeting, as countries grapple with oil price shocks and geopolitical tensions stemming from the US war with Iran and Russia's conflict in Ukraine.
🔸 Australia is leading the negotiations related to the meeting. Preliminary negotiations began on Monday with talks on financing, and negotiators discussed the demand of developing countries to include climate finance issues on the meeting's official agenda. According to the UN climate agreements, developed countries, which have historically been responsible for producing and emitting the most greenhouse gases, provide financial support to help developing countries adapt to climate impacts and transition to cleaner energy.
