“Instead of messing with the science,Türkiye needs to focus on strengthening its climate policies and implementation so it can be a forward-looking host of COP31, helping the world deal with the climate crisis that everyone else seems to recognise,” Bill Hare told Climate Home News.

The Republic of Congo officially launched the validation workshop for its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC3.0) on December 4, 2025 in Brazzaville, the process of which was managed by Climate Analytics Africa.

Southeast Asia is at a crossroads for climate action, said Climate Policy Analyst Thomas Houlie. The region is expanding use of renewable energy but still reliant on fossil fuels. “What we’re seeing in the region is dramatic and it’s unfortunately a stark reminder of the consequences of the climate crisis,” Houlie said.

Nepal’s negotiator Manjeet Dhakal says that after many rounds of interventions and support from other highland nations, the term ‘mountains’ has been included in the new Global Stocktake text.

China is the world's biggest polluter, but also the world's biggest investor in clean energy. As the United States pulls back from global climate commitments, Bill Hare speaks on how China could fill the leadership gap.

While renewables are now cheaper than ever, political barriers and pressure from fossil fuel companies hinder global climate efforts, Bill Hare tells Anadolu.

If nations met the goals set at past climate talks of tripling renewables, doubling energy efficiency and cutting methane by 2030, the rate of global warming could be cut by a third within a decade and a half by 2040, according to a new report by Climate Analytics.

“This progress is proof that multilateralism is working, it is delivering,” Manjeet Dhakal of the Climate Analytics South Asia told us from Belém. “Having said that, it is simply not enough. Emissions need to go down much further, and a lot of it is tied to developed countries providing climate finance to do so.”

Bill Hare, said: “If [governments] achieve this by 2035, it would be a gamechanger, quickly slowing the rate of warming in the next decade and lowering global warming this century from 2.6C to about 1.7C.”

Sarah Heck says an additional 2 degrees Celsius of heat in the atmosphere would lead to ice-free summers in the Arctic at least once a decade, as opposed to once a century in a 1.5-degree scenario.
