Azerbaijan is represented by a wide delegation at COP31 in Antalya

The 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31) has begun in Turkey.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Report, the summit is being held in Antalya on an area of 1.1 million square meters.

Azerbaijan is represented at COP31 by a large delegation. The successful experience gained by the country during the hosting of COP29 in Baku is being actively applied in organizing the current international forum.

The summit is chaired by Turkey's Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum. A so-called "COP of action" is also planned, aimed at ensuring practical steps by states.

A distinctive feature of the climate forum is a unique dual governance system, applied for the first time in UN history: Turkey holds the overall presidency and organizes the summit, while Australia serves as the "negotiations chair." This diplomatic model was agreed upon by the parties at the previous COP30 summit in Brazil.

The large-scale event in Antalya is expected to attract around 100,000 foreign delegates, with the total number of visitors reaching 1.5 million people.
