The 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP 31) will kick off on Nov. 9, bringing together world leaders, as well as business and civil society group representatives in Antalya, Turkey. During the two-week conference co-hosted by Turkey and Australia, representatives will negotiate ways to fast track the implementation of the 2015 Paris Agreement, which sets the target on the global temperature rise by the next century.
