COP31 opens in Turkey as UN urges faster emissions cuts

ndtv.com — November 10, 2026 at 02:01 AM UTC

COP31 climate talks opened Monday in Antalya, Turkey, with UN chief Antonio Guterres urging leaders to "get serious" by cutting emissions faster, as negotiations began amid disputes over climate finance for developing nations. Developing countries pushed for finance items on the agenda, with African nations seeking a tripling of adaptation funding, though a senior EU official warned of "no political will" for extra pledges. The UN says developing nations need $305 billion annually by 2035 for adaptation. Turkey and Australia co-preside over the summit, branded the "implementation COP," focusing on electrification pledges. The talks occur amid geopolitical tensions, with US President Donald Trump absent, though a congressional delegation attends following Democratic midterm wins.
