AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoCOP31: The UN climate summit opens in Antalya on Nov. 9, with Secretary-General António Guterres calling it a “moment of truth” as warnings grow that the world will overshoot 1.5°C of warming. Türkiye is promoting electrification and renewables, but campaigners say its continued coal use undermines its message. Climate Finance: African researchers say COP31 must turn loss-and-damage pledges into practical support, including for harms that cannot be repaired, such as displacement and the loss of sacred places. Methane: Satellite data detected 70 methane plumes at Türkiye’s 10 highest-emitting waste sites; a landfill near Istanbul averaged about 7.4 tonnes an hour. Wildlife: Humpback calves made up just 3.35% of whales observed off Brazil this year, far below the historical average. Researchers suspect warming may be reducing the Antarctic krill supply whales rely on. Disaster Readiness: On the 13th anniversary of Typhoon Yolanda, the Philippines’ Climate Change Commission urged officials to measure resilience by lives protected, not just how quickly communities rebuild.
