Overview
- Delegates adopted a disputed agenda after intense overnight talks that explicitly placed a Climate Finance Work Programme on the table while shelving high‑value demands such as tripling adaptation finance.
- World leaders began a high‑level segment on Wednesday in Antalya where UN Secretary‑General António Guterres warned the climate crisis is accelerating and urged immediate implementation rather than new pledges.
- Host Türkiye’s ‘35 by 35’ proposal to raise electricity’s share of global energy to about 35% by 2035 is shaping talks but faces criticism because it lacks a binding requirement that new power be low‑carbon.
- Developing blocs including the African Group and G77 and China pressed for predictable, public and concessional finance and stronger support for the Green Climate Fund while wealthy countries signalled limited appetite for large new commitments.
- The summit’s political room is constrained by energy shocks, wars and notable absences from some major emitters, and negotiators will now try to translate the agenda into text that delivers money, clear timelines and measurable implementation.
