Cop31

UN Türkiye, together with partner organisations, is working to strengthen South–South climate cooperation ahead of the COP31 climate summit. The initiative focuses on boosting collaboration between developing countries on climate action, including sharing knowledge, finance and technology to support mitigation and adaptation efforts. Details of specific projects or commitments were not provided, but the effort signals growing momentum around developing-nation-led climate diplomacy in the run-up to the next COP conference.

The United Nations is calling for faster climate action ahead of the COP31 summit, warning that exceeding warming targets — 'overshoot' — must not become an excuse to give up. UN officials argue that even if temperature limits are temporarily surpassed, cutting emissions and adapting remain essential to limiting damage.
