Exploring and establishing new international collaborative alliances regarding climate change, building capacity, and implementing financial mechanisms—such as carbon markets—are among Cuba’s objectives for the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31).
This global gathering began today in Antalya, Turkey, and will continue until November 20. The Cuban delegation to this multilateral forum is led by Rudy Montero Mata, First Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA).
According to information shared by CITMA on its Facebook page, the Brazilian delegation at the event urged continued work on the Climate Change Action Agenda and on multilateralism, while emphasizing the need to focus on people and the requirements of the most vulnerable communities.
Cuba arrives at COP31 with a significant agenda, aiming to further strengthen its participation in negotiation forums—which are essential for ensuring the country meets its commitments under the Convention. Another key objective for the Cuban delegation is to share the country’s successful experiences in climate change adaptation and mitigation—achievements that have been recognized in various international forums.
COP31 brings together representatives from governments, international organizations, and non-state actors in Antalya, with the goal of advancing the implementation of global climate agreements and pursuing more ambitious targets to address the environmental crisis.
