Wars and conflicts overshadowed the opening of the COP31 climate summit in Antalya. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan urged developed countries to cut their emissions and increase funding and technology transfers to the most vulnerable nations, while UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an end to dependence on fossil fuels and for fossil fuel companies to bear the cost of the damage they cause. Guterres said the world’s nine largest oil companies made $95 billion in profits in the last quarter, and called for them to be taxed to support countries affected by climate change. Leaders, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, linked conflicts to environmental damage. Pezeshkian said attacks on facilities and fuel storage tanks in Iran had released around 500,000 tonnes and one million tonnes of carbon dioxide, respectively. Delegations from around 200 countries are attending the summit. The United States is absent for the second year running, while Turkey has said it will not invite Israel.
