Cop31 host urges rich nations to spend more on climate than defence

Original: Cop31 host urges wealthy countries to spend ‘much more’ on climate than defence ‘The climate issue is the security issue

Turkey, which will host the Cop31 climate summit, called on wealthy countries to spend 'much more' on tackling climate change than on defence. 'The climate issue is the security issue,' said a Turkish minister at a pre-Cop summit held in Fiji with Pacific nations, arguing that climate spending should be treated as a matter of security rather than competing with military budgets.

Why now: Comments come ahead of the Cop31 summit, as debates over climate funding versus defence spending intensify globally.
