Story summary

The COP31 climate summit opened on Monday, November 9, 2026, in Antalya, Turkey, amid rising concerns over global heating and extreme weather events. Over 100,000 people are expected to attend the two-week-long conference at a sprawling expo center. Despite ambitious goals set in previous agreements like the Paris Accord, many nations now concede that Earth will warm beyond the 1.5°C target, focusing instead on adapting to higher temperatures and reducing fossil fuel reliance through greater electrification. Host nation Turkey is pushing its initiative to make electricity account for 35% of global energy demand by 2035 but has faced criticism for not endorsing the Global Methane Pledge or addressing coal use directly.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
