COP31 in Antalya: climate negotiations under tension
COP31 opens on November 9, 2026, in Antalya, Turkey, with Benoît Faraco leading negotiations for France, while scientists warn of the tropicalization of the Mediterranean. Discussions on financing stumble over the contribution of major emitters, with France pushing to broaden the donor base in the face of China's refusal of new obligations. The opening of negotiations ignores the phase-out of fossil fuels, and four TotalEnergies emissaries are accredited within the French delegation. Heads of state then take over in the absence of many leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, with electrification becoming central as countries oppose each other over the timetable for the IPCC report.
