Commit to Climate Leadership
Leaders from Australia and Türkiye have made an unprecedented agreement to jointly manage the United Nation’s COP 31 climate summit in November.
This complex arrangement puts the spotlight on climate leadership at COP 31 like never before.
What does climate leadership from Australia and Türkiye at COP 31 mean?
NO to using hosting/presidency roles to make fossil fuel production or distribution deals.
NO to including fossil fuel industry reps on delegations or COP Presidency/Vice Presidency teams.
YES to advancing a global just transition away from fossil fuels.
YES to greater ambition in national climate action plans (NDCs).
YES to fair access and meaningful participation of civil society at COP 31.
Dear COP 31 Leadership,
Despite being overrun with fossil lobbyists, COP 30 saw unprecedented demand for a plan for transitioning the world away from fossil fuels.
Now Australia and Türkiye must seize the opportunity at the COP 31 climate summit.
You can demonstrate that leadership by safeguarding against conflicts of interests, increasing transparency, supporting science, and making a clear transition roadmap a reality.
