This week, government leaders will meet in Antalya, Türkiye for a major United Nations conference on climate change, a gathering that comes amid news the Earth is warming at a dangerously fast pace. The UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) is expected to centre on how to curb ever-rising greenhouse gas emissions, which experts say are overheating the planet and propelling it towards dangerous climate tipping points. “The science is clear. Despite some progress in recent years, the world is set to cross 1.5°C of global warming,” said Martin Krause, the Director of the Climate Change Division at the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). “We must make this overshoot as small and brief as possible. COP31 offers a critical opportunity to turn climate change commitments into action – and to start bending the temperature curve back down.” url-shortener.me/Q8B1 via EnviroNews
