Briefings

Carbon Brief analyzed 100 documents at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, revealing a fragmented landscape where Australia leads negotiations while Turkey hosts the event. Key issues include a contested 'just transition' mechanism, disputes over climate finance under Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement, and stalled progress on adaptation indicators and mitigation work programmes. The interactive table tracks party positions from 'priority' to 'oppose' across topics, though the document is still evolving during the summit.

Key points

• Australia is leading the joint presidency of COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, while Turkey hosts the conference and pushes its own priorities on electrification and green industrialisation.
• Developing countries successfully pushed for a 'work programme' on climate finance, but negotiations failed to agree on a global goal for adaptation or a continuation of the mitigation work programme.

Context

COP31 is an unusual summit with a joint presidency, making it a critical moment for global climate action. The event occurs against a backdrop of ongoing regional conflicts, energy crises, and extreme weather events, complicating the ability of nations to focus solely on climate negotiations.

Limitations

Analysis covers only 100 documents from the first column of the interactive table, capturing positions on specific topics. The document is a 'living' snapshot from November 2026, meaning positions may shift during the summit and details on the 'just transition' mechanism remain unfinalized.
