AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCOP31: UN climate talks open in Antalya on Monday amid worsening climate disasters and weak political momentum. António Guterres called the summit a “moment of truth,” as negotiators face pressure to deliver climate finance and action on existing pledges. Host Türkiye is promoting electrification and recycling, but campaigners say its continued coal use and plastic-waste imports undermine its climate message. Climate Finance: Jordan’s draft climate plan targets a 31% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, but nearly three-quarters of the goal depends on international support; the plan estimates $16.2 billion is needed. Clean Technology: China sent $132 billion in clean-tech investment to developing countries last year, according to a report, positioning its green industries as a major force in cutting emissions. Transport Policy: EU lawmakers backed changes that could weaken the bloc’s planned 2035 phaseout of new petrol and diesel cars, allowing some combustion-engine vehicles to remain on sale. Climate Impacts: Drought and extreme heat have halved Iran’s pistachio harvest, disrupting supplies to China.
