Turkey wants to host next year’s UN climate change talks and is ready to organise the event alone if there is no agreement on sharing the event, a Turkish diplomatic source revealed yesterday.

Australia and Turkey are locked in a stalemate over who should host the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in 2026.

The host is selected by consensus, so unless Australia or Turkey withdraws or the countries agree to share the conference, both will miss out.

A decision by organisers should be made at the current COP conference in Belem, in Brazil.
