Interactive: Who wants what at the COP31 climate change summit

Delegates are due to meet in Antalya, Turkey, for COP31, where governments will seek agreement on climate finance for developing countries and a global shift to a cleaner economy. The summit has an unusual joint presidency: Australia is leading negotiations while Turkey hosts, and Turkey is also promoting priorities such as electrification, ocean issues and green industry.

The article presents an interactive guide based on around 100 documents, mapping countries’ and negotiating blocs’ positions on topics and specific proposals. Among the central issues are the design of the Belém-Antalya mechanism for a just transition, who should provide climate finance, and how to align global financial flows with climate action. Countries must also refine 59 indicators for the global goal on adaptation before COP32 in Addis Ababa; the guide is intended to be updated during COP31.
