Climate glossary for COP31 in Antalya

The COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey, brings together parties to the UN climate convention to address global warming. The meeting is the 31st annual gathering of these nations. Key terms include UNFCCC, the UN's climate convention, and IPCC, the UN's climate panel. The Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees is considered by many to be unattainable, as the world has already warmed by 1.2 degrees. Other important concepts include climate financing, where rich countries are to provide $300 billion annually to developing nations, and carbon markets. The conference also addresses adaptation, loss and damage, and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
