Answer: Turkey
Notes: Turkiye will host the COP31 (Conference of the Parties 31) UN climate summit in Antalya next year, after an agreement with Australia ended a long dispute over the venue. Australia will now lead pre-COP negotiations with Pacific nations for the 2026 UN climate meeting, while Turkiye will assume the presidency of COP31. The announcement comes as COP30 in Belem, Brazil is closing, with Australia earlier pushing to host COP31 as a Pacific COP for climate-vulnerable island nations. Turkiye insisted on hosting COP31 to represent emerging economies and encourage solidarity between rich and poor countries on climate action.
