COP31 in Antalaya: State of the Global Climate Governance, Issues, Perspectives
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.
