President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the UN Climate Summit in New York: 'We will host COP31 in Antalya from 9 to 20 November 2026.'
Erdoğan said any proposal that does not bring climate goals together with social and economic realities is doomed to fail. Noting that the last year was the hottest on record, Erdoğan said the floods in Nepal show there is no time to lose and expressed condolences to the people of Nepal.
