AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCOP31: UN climate talks begin in Antalya on Monday, with Secretary-General António Guterres calling the summit a “moment of truth.” Türkiye is pushing a global electrification target, but campaigners say its reliance on coal and plastic-waste imports undermines its climate message. Ireland will help lead the EU’s negotiating effort, including pressure for more climate finance for poorer countries. Car policy: The European Parliament’s environment committee backed a proposal to weaken the EU’s 2035 emissions target for new cars, potentially allowing some petrol and diesel models to remain on sale. The change is not yet final. Data centres: Protests across 15 European countries are demanding a pause on new large-scale projects until rules address their heavy demands on power, water and land. Activists also entered a Microsoft construction site in Amsterdam. Climate outlook: The EU climate monitor says 2026 is virtually certain to exceed 1.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels, underscoring the stakes of the Antalya talks.
