Thursday/ Monday
Australia withdrew its proposal to host the UN climate summit, COP31, scheduled for November 2026 in Antalya, Turkey, as confirmed by Australian Climate Minister Chris Bowen. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia will not co-host and supports Turkey's bid, with Bowen set to chair the conference. Despite concerns over costs and criticism from Pacific leaders, Bowen remains confident as Australia plans a pre-COP meeting and will hold presidency over COP31 negotiations.
