On the ground in Antalya, Türkiye:
Kylie Turner, Sustainable Economies Lead and decarbonisation expert.
‘1.5°C remains the critical benchmark for limiting global warming. We must be clear-eyed about the prospect of overshoot, but that cannot become an excuse to lower our ambition.’
Dr Nelika Hughes, Sustainable Economies Program Manager.
'Collective commitments under the Paris Agreement have made a difference, but there is more to do, and it must be done quickly.’
Jannata (Egi) Giwangkara, Indonesia Country Lead and energy transition expert.
'Regional cooperation can turn COP31 ambition into measurable outcomes.’
Etwin Kuslati Sabarini, Indonesia Deputy Country Lead, specialising in ocean-based climate mitigation.
'COP31 is an opportunity to move ocean-based solutions higher on the climate agenda. Blue carbon ecosystems can make significant contributions to climate mitigation, but unlocking their potential requires more than protecting mangroves and seagrass.'
In Australia:
Anna Skarbek AM, CEO.
'COP31 is a critical moment to accelerate the global electrification agenda. We urge countries to maintain ambitious electrification targets which are essential not only to reducing emissions but also to strengthening energy security, resilience for businesses, communities and economic competitiveness.'
Trang Nguyen, Head of International Programs & Engagement, economist and green finance expert.
'For Asia, COP31 is an opportunity to turn global electrification ambition into tangible benefits for economies and communities.’
