DGAP’s Research Institute regularly brings together experts and high-level guests to discuss the latest developments in foreign affairs. On November 19, as the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya enters its final days, we will take stock of the negotiations. Given the intensifying impacts of climate change, existing commitments demand to be implemented. Yet, as the need for international cooperation grows, geopolitical tensions put multilateral institutions under increasing strain. Insufficient climate finance has further undermined action, especially in climate-vulnerable low-income countries. Against this backdrop, we will examine the key issues on the COP31 agenda and the prospects for a negotiated outcome. We will also explore how the unprecedented leadership arrangement between Turkey and Australia is shaping the conference and consider next steps beyond COP31.
