Türkiye’s president-designate for this autumn’s UN climate conference on Tuesday signed the COP31 host country agreement during a gathering in Bonn, Germany.
Türkiye’s Minister of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change, Murat Kurum, who also serves as COP31 president, attended the signing ceremony during the Bonn Climate Change Conference, the ministry said in a post on Turkish social media platform NSosyal.
Kurum signed the agreement with Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Following the signing, Kurum said Türkiye’s constructive cooperation with the UN secretariat would continue to grow in the coming days.
During his visit to Bonn, Kurum also held talks on Türkiye’s hosting of the COP31 climate conference, which is scheduled to take place in the country this November.
He met representatives of several regional groups, including the African Group of Negotiators, the Alliance of Small Island States, the Umbrella Group, the Group of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Arab Group.
Kurum also held talks with Jochen Flasbarth, Germany’s state secretary at the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
