Erdoğan: Climate finance should be made more accessible

In his speech at the "COP31 Leaders Summit Opening Programme" in Antalya, President Erdoğan stated that climate financing should become more accessible.

Stating that there were very important developments after the COP meetings held in Berlin for the first time 30 years ago, Erdogan said in his speech at the "COP31 Leaders Summit Opening Program" in Antalya that the damage caused by COP31 to the environment was minimized. Erdoğan pointed out that humanity is experiencing perhaps the deepest existential crisis in history due to the influence of excessive consumption ambition.

"Unless we achieve the goals set in the Paris agreement, the risks we face increase," said Erdogan, adding that maximum efforts are being made to fulfill the tasks related to climate change.

Stating that Türkiye's environmental awareness is one of the common sensitivities of all ancient civilizations and all religions, he said, "As humanity, our house has only one roof, which is the sky, and our house has only one garden, and that is the earth. We have no other forests, oceans, or seas. However, humanity is experiencing one of the deepest consumption crises today."
