COP31 in Antalya: climate negotiations and France's role
As COP31 approaches, an op-ed calls on France to reform climate governance, while the conference opens in Turkey amid relative indifference in the French public debate. The negotiations are led by Benoît Faraco, French ambassador for climate, and financing discussions are stuck on 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 the negotiations ignores the phase-out of fossil fuels, and TotalEnergies obtains accreditation within the French delegation. Heads of state then take over, but many leaders are absent, including Emmanuel Macron.
