UN News has published an explainer on what is at stake at COP31, this year's UN climate summit. The piece says the world now has more tools than ever to tackle climate change, yet millions of people still cannot benefit from them. The article argues that clean energy technologies are advancing faster than ever, so the challenge for countries at COP31 is no longer just finding solutions. The central task, it says, is making sure everyone can afford them. The report gave few further details on specific negotiating goals or commitments expected at the summit.
