Invitation-only event
COPs have become a year-end marathon to revigorate a world now entering the era of climate overshoot. While Türkiye exhibits the largest coal-fired power generation in OECD Europe, it has embraced the electrification agenda and aims at joining forces with Australia on fostering action and implementation. This is an unusual de facto co-presidency arrangement, but one that could yield promising results. This webinar will take stock of what climate governance has achieved and of the issues still to be negotiated, and explore what impetus this Turkish–Australian partnership could provide.
COP31 will take place from 9 to 20 November 2026 in Antalya, Türkiye.
Speaker: Paul Watkinson, Independant expert & consultant, former leader of French delegation to the UN climate negotiations
Moderator: Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega, Director, Center for Energy & Climate, Ifri
