COP31 in Turkey Opens as Leaders Push for New Climate Deal

usnews.com — November 11, 2026 at 05:01 AM UTC

World leaders are delivering climate speeches at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, as negotiators seek a deal to boost electricity's share of global energy and revive fossil fuel transition efforts. Nearly 200 countries are attending amid rising emissions and competing global crises. A UN report warns the world is on track to breach the 1.5°C Paris Agreement limit. Turkey's proposal targets raising electricity's share of energy consumption to 35% by 2035, but lacks clean power requirements. UN chief Antonio Guterres urged clear timelines for moving away from fossil fuels. The US skipped the talks for a second year under President Donald Trump, who withdrew from climate cooperation. Last year's COP in Brazil failed to reach consensus on fossil fuel reduction, though a Brazilian roadmap now proposes coordinated supply cuts starting in 2031.
