COP31 summit to be held in Antalya, Türkiye, with Australia leading negotiations

COP31 climate summit electrification fossil fuels Antalya

The COP31 climate summit is scheduled to take place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026. In an unprecedented arrangement, Türkiye will host the event while Australia leads the formal negotiations.

A central pillar of the summit's agenda is a push for increased electrification. Türkiye and Australia are advocating for a voluntary pledge to raise the share of electricity in global energy demand from 20% to 35% by 2035. However, critics and environmental groups have raised concerns that this focus may lack the necessary commitment to transitioning away from fossil fuels, noting that both host nations remain significant players in the global coal supply chain.

While formal UN negotiations are expected to be light on new binding agreements regarding the phase-out of coal, oil, and gas, other nations are expected to take independent action. Brazil is anticipated to present a voluntary roadmap for transitioning away from fossil fuels. The summit occurs amidst rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and ongoing debates regarding climate finance and adaptation.
