Story summary

The UN's annual COP31 climate summit began on November 9 in Antalya, Turkey, with over 100,000 participants expected to attend. Host nation Turkey emphasizes electrification and reducing waste but avoids discussing coal, which contradicts the goals of some attendees pushing for more aggressive action against fossil fuels. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an end to new oil and gas projects, while leaders from Canada, Japan, India, and Russia notably skipped the summit or sent lower-level representatives. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President Trump's absence at the conference, framing his attendance as part of California’s global climate partnerships.
