Last update: 3 hours agoCOP31: Türkiye’s climate summit is set to open in Antalya on Nov. 9, with leaders under pressure to turn past pledges into action on emissions cuts, adaptation and climate finance. Türkiye is promoting electrification and zero-waste efforts, while campaigners say its continued coal use and plastic-waste imports undercut its ambitions. Climate Finance: African countries are pushing for practical support for communities facing floods, droughts and losses that can’t be repaired, including damage to cultural ties and a sense of safety. Jordan’s draft climate plan targets a 31% emissions cut by 2035, but estimates it needs $16.2 billion, much of it in international support. Methane: Satellite observations identified 70 methane plumes at 10 Turkish landfill sites; emissions at Istanbul’s Seymen landfill averaged about 7.4 metric tons an hour, sharpening scrutiny of the COP host’s waste policies. Energy and Emissions: AI data-centre growth is driving new gas-fired power projects that could lock in decades of pollution, even as tech firms pursue climate targets.
