Minister Kurum met with young people and children at COP31

The sixth day of the COP31 Summit held in Antalya continues with the theme "Children, Youth, Education and Skills".

Murat Kurum, Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, attended the "High-Level Dialogue on Children, Youth and Climate Resilience" meeting.

Explaining the impact of climate change on children with the report published by UNICEF, the Institution said, "Approximately 1.1 billion children in the world are exposed to at least 3 climate hazards. In 2025, climate-related events disrupted the education of more than 171 million students. Behind every figure there is an unfinished lesson, a postponed dream, a mother or a father worried about their child's future." he said.

Drawing attention to the deep traces left by the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza in the lives of children, Kurum said, "We always carry the children of Gaza in our hearts in Antalya. We will continue to defend the right of every child in Gaza to live, learn, play and grow up in safety." he said.
