Ethiopia is leveraging its participation in the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), which opened on Monday in Antalya, Turkey, to push forward preparations for hosting the next summit, COP32, in Addis Ababa in November 2027.
The country’s delegation has highlighted the need for stronger climate finance commitments from developed nations, echoing a broader call from developing countries for more robust support to tackle the climate crisis.
As COP31 proceeds, Ethiopia is using the platform to coordinate logistics, secure funding, and engage with international partners for the forthcoming Addis Ababa conference, which will bring together leaders from around the world to negotiate further climate action.
Developing states are increasingly voicing concerns over widening disagreements on how to address climate change, placing pressure on the conference to deliver tangible financial outcomes.
With COP32 scheduled to take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia aims to showcase its capacity to host a major global event while advancing its national and regional climate agenda.
