World Leaders Convene at COP31 as Climate Finance Pressure Mounts
The leaders’ summit is underway in Antalya as countries face demands to turn climate commitments into action.
Heads of state and government have begun gathering for the high-level leaders' summit at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, on November 11.
The summit takes place during the United Nations climate conference, which opened earlier in the week. Participants face questions about stronger emissions action, climate adaptation and finance for countries vulnerable to rising temperatures and extreme weather.
The United Nations climate process has scheduled the leaders' segment across November 11 and 12. Governments are under pressure to demonstrate how existing commitments will translate into practical measures and funding. The start of the summit is a new development following the conference's opening on November 9.
