COP31. Report points to few results and calls for ambition

The world has failed to slow global warming over the past five years, with climate action stagnating and efforts canceling each other out, according to a report presented at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey. Despite some progress since the Paris Agreement in 2015, emissions remain high, pushing the planet towards exceeding the 1.5°C limit set in the agreement. Even if countries meet their climate promises, projections indicate a rise of 2.6°C by century's end. Leaders from island nations emphasized the urgent need for stronger commitments and financial support for poorer countries to combat climate change effectively. They warned that current actions are insufficient to prevent catastrophic warming.
