Turkey, host of the COP31 UN climate conference, will push for an electrification drive to help meet global energy demand when the summit opens in Antalya on Monday, November 9. France 24 reported that the summit takes place under the shadow of a cost-of-living crisis fuelled by the war in the Middle East. The push comes as climate threats mount and governments weigh how to expand energy supply while cutting emissions. The report did not give details of specific proposals or targets Turkey plans to put forward.
