Carbon Brief's interactive tracker decodes the 104 substantive agenda items at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, using real-time data from the UN. The system tracks negotiation status via a traffic-light system: red for unresolved items, orange for informal drafts, yellow for legal texts, and green for agreements. Turkey hosts the summit while Australia leads negotiations, with the African group requesting new trade tariff items. The tracker counts outstanding brackets and options to measure disagreement intensity.

• The tracker distinguishes negotiation stages by color: red for unresolved items, orange for informal drafts, yellow for legal texts, and green for agreements, with grey for postponed items.

Context

UN climate summits involve hundreds of nations haggling over legal agreements behind closed doors. Turkey hosts COP31 while Australia leads negotiations, with the African group requesting new trade tariff items. This tracker helps track progress through the complex agenda-setting process.

Limitations
