Read the full assessment

The COP31 climate summit has opened in Antalya, Turkey, from November 9-20, with Australia presiding over negotiations and Turkey's Murat Kurum as COP president. The United States is notably absent, continuing its withdrawal from multilateral climate diplomacy, which is assessed to weaken prospects for binding commitments. Key uncertainties revolve around whether nations will commit to concrete actions beyond rhetoric, particularly concerning emissions cuts and climate finance.
