COP31 fuel dispute looms
Negotiations at the COP31 conference in Antalya are facing disagreements over whether to impose binding targets to phase out oil, gas and coal. Producer countries, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, oppose the proposal, while India has reservations. Turkey and Australia are seeking a compromise before the end of next week. Turkey has proposed expanding the use of electricity, but its plan does not require that it come from renewable sources. Brazil, meanwhile, is calling for a clearer pathway to move away from fossil fuels. The United States is absent from the conference for the second year in a row. A UN report warns that the world is on track to exceed the 1.5°C warming limit set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Delayed climate decisions, it cautions, will increase the risks of extreme weather events.
