Turkey will host next year’s UN climate summit, while Australia will take charge of leading the negotiations under an unusual compromise struck at the Cop30 talks in Brazil.
The agreement ends a two-year stand-off between the two countries, both of which had bid to host Cop31. It means the conference, scheduled for late 2026, will be held in the resort city of Antalya, with Australia’s climate minister Chris Bowen presiding over the negotiations.
