Quick Summary

World leaders started arriving in Turkey on Wednesday for the United Nations climate change conference, known as COP31, amid concerns about slow progress on addressing global warming. Despite recent severe weather events like floods and heatwaves, there is skepticism about achieving concrete outcomes at the 11-day conference. The EU’s top climate official noted that expectations are not high due to past unfulfilled promises and the absence of some key figures from the discussions.
