Countries remain divided on key issues as first week of COP31 climate summit wraps up

02:43 Min

Five days into the UN climate conference COP31 in Turkiye and negotiators have made progress on nearly half the agenda. But major challenges remain, as the world looks set to miss its 1.5°C target on warming. The only G7 leader to turn up this year was the UK premier Andy Burnham. No East Asian or Southeast Asian head of state or government visited Antalya. As the second week draws near, attendees will also be watching to see who else chooses to sign the voluntary electrification pledge. Stuart Smith reports from Antalya.
