The 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) begins in Antalya, Türkiye, today (Monday), bringing together representatives from nearly 200 countries to discuss global climate challenges and accelerate action against climate change.
The conference will run from November 9 to 20, with discussions focusing on climate finance, adaptation, emissions reduction, renewable energy and the implementation of previous climate commitments.
Bangladesh is expected to highlight its vulnerability to climate change and press for grant-based climate financing and greater accountability from major carbon-emitting countries.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is scheduled to attend the two-day World Leaders’ Summit on November 11-12, where he will present Bangladesh’s position on climate change.
Bangladesh will also set up a pavilion to showcase its climate adaptation initiatives, resilience efforts and national climate action plans.
The conference comes amid growing concerns over rising global temperatures, extreme weather events and the widening gap between climate commitments and their implementation.
