Turkey Wants a Climate Meeting With Real Action
Turkey says the next big U.N. climate summit should focus more on action and money, not only promises.
Turkey said the COP31 climate summit should be about action, not only speeches.
Reuters reported on April 20, 2026 that Turkish minister Murat Kurum said climate finance will be the main issue.
He said developing countries need very large support to meet climate goals.
Turkey wants countries to bring their climate plans and do more practical work before the meeting in Antalya in November.
The minister also said wars and security problems are taking attention away from climate change, even though climate risks are still growing.
This story is important because many people think climate meetings have too many promises and not enough real results.
