The UN's annual climate change summit, COP31, opens Monday in Turkey as Europe faces deadly heatwaves and Nepal confronts catastrophic floods.
The conference follows a summer of deadly climate disasters across the globe. Scientists warn that a 'super El Niño' weather pattern in the Pacific will likely intensify extreme weather events in the coming months.
As host nation, Turkey plans to introduce a landmark initiative targeting the electrification of approximately one-third of the global economy. This ambitious proposal aims to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
