COP31 Antalya & India's Stance
COP31 is the 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN climate convention (UNFCCC), due in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026. It is in the news because India used the Pre-COP31 meeting in Fiji on 7 October 2026 to ask that the summit be judged by delivery, not by new pledges.
