World Climate Conference starts in Turkey
161
The climate conference COP31 starts in Antalya. Almost 200 countries talk there for 2 weeks. Turkey and Australia lead the meeting together. An important topic is electricity. Turkey wants more power instead of oil or gas. By the year 2035, power must make 35 percent of energy. This helps the climate only with green power. A big argument is money. Poor countries need help against climate damage. Rich countries must pay for this. The United Nations say: Much money is necessary. Each year 305 billion dollars are needed. The European Union does not want to pay alone. It demands money from China or rich golf states. Many state funds are empty now. The USA are not here this year. President Donald Trump leaves the climate treaty. China sends only agents without the president. Scientists warn: The earth becomes hotter. Without fast action heat rises by 2.8 degrees. The goal of 1.5 degrees is in danger. Experts hope for progress in Antalya.
