The fight against climate change is taking centre stage in Antalya, Türkiye, as world leaders meet for the COP31 World Leaders Climate Action Summit.

The two-day summit, taking place from November 11 to 12, 2026, brings together heads of state, government officials and international leaders to discuss ways to address climate change and strengthen global cooperation.

Key discussions include turning climate promises into action, addressing climate-related damage, promoting clean energy and securing funding for developing countries.

The summit comes at a time when many countries are experiencing rising temperatures, severe flooding, droughts and other extreme weather events that threaten lives, livelihoods and economic growth.

For African countries, including Ghana, the discussions are particularly important as climate change continues to affect agriculture, food security, water resources and coastal communities.

Climate finance remains a major concern, with growing calls for developed countries to provide financial support to vulnerable nations to help them adapt to climate change and build stronger economies.

The summit also offers an opportunity for countries to strengthen partnerships, share solutions and renew their commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As the summit continues, the big question remains: Will world leaders move beyond promises and deliver the action and resources needed to tackle the global climate crisis?
