Climate summit in Turkey possibly the largest ever, but many world leaders are absent

The climate summit in Antalya is expected to surpass previous attendance records, with Turkey inviting over 14,000 guests. Developing countries have sent large delegations, while major economies like the US and India are notably absent. Diplomatic negotiations are ongoing, but fewer leaders are present compared to past years, raising concerns about the prioritization of climate issues. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the urgency of transitioning from fossil fuels. Brazilian President Lula criticized the shift in focus from climate to military issues. Next year's summit will be held in Ethiopia, highlighting the severe impacts of climate change.
