Turkey’s COP31 President Lays Out Summit’s Agenda at UN
The plan sets 10 priorities and could cut global emissions by 8.5-10 gigatons of CO2 by 2035, Kurum said.
- On Monday, COP31 President and Turkish Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum presented a climate action agenda at a United Nations event in New York, prioritizing implementation of existing commitments over new pledges.
- Kurum stated the agenda is based on "dialogue, consensus and action," aiming to transform commitments into measurable results by facilitating access to finance and strengthening cooperation.
- The plan targets raising electricity's share of consumption to 35% by 2035 and cutting municipal waste by half, while reducing building energy-use intensity by at least 25% and boosting circular-material-use rates to at least 15%.
- To support these goals, Kurum outlined the Green Industrialisation Facilitation Mechanism and a broader Climate Implementation Bridge, which connect project needs with technology and finance to enhance production capacity.
- Consultations on the 10-theme agenda will continue at a Fiji pre-COP meeting next month, leading toward the annual COP31 climate summit, which Turkey will host in Antalya this November.
