The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) has officially commenced in Antalya, Turkey.
Ethiopia, the host of the upcoming climate summit (COP32), is participating in the event, represented by the COP32 President and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Timothewos.
Ethiopia has opened a dedicated pavilion at the venue to promote itself, engage diplomats as well as to show preparation for COP32.
Representatives including head of sates from nearly 200 countries will stay for about two weeks on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, Reuters reported.
This year’s summit is being held under the theme, “From Consensus to Concrete Action.”
While world leaders have made numerous pledges at various climate summits, the challenge of implementation has been repeatedly raised as a recurring issue.
