At COP31 in Antalya, UK PM Andy Burnham reaffirmed the 2050 net zero pledge, signaling a reversal from recent policy backsliding. Concurrently, Burnham declared the previous climate consensus 'gone' and announced a 'new era of leadership,' including the appointment of a climate security envoy, indicating a shift towards framing climate change as a security issue. The impact of these statements depends on concrete policy follow-through, which remains uncertain.
