Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum announced six global climate goals to be achieved by 2035 under Türkiye’s COP31 presidency during a speech in Ankara on Tuesday.

Kurum said COP31 would not be limited to setting targets but would focus on their implementation on the ground.
