COP31 UN climate summit in Antalya, Türkiye: adaptation finance gap and 1.5°C overshoot
The 31st UN climate conference, COP31, is set to take place in Antalya, Türkiye, following COP30 in Brazil. In late October the UN warned the world is on track to double global warming unless countries change course. On 4 November a UN adaptation report said wealthy countries are far short on funding: developing nations need about $305 billion a year, with a gap of roughly $277 billion, and the COP30 adaptation pledge would meet under a third of needs. Attendance is taking shape: Brazil's Lula and China's vice president plan to go, US lawmakers will attend, and Japan's prime minister is reportedly likely to skip. Debates include carbon credits, a Brazil-led deforestation roadmap and ocean action.
