COP31 hosts Australia and Türkiye plan oil and gas expansion
Australia and Türkiye, the two countries set to host or co-host COP31, are both planning to expand oil and gas production, according to Global Witness. Critics say the planned expansion undermines the credibility of the UN climate summit and its hosts, who are expected to lead on phasing down fossil fuels. The finding has fuelled debate over whether major fossil fuel producers should preside over climate negotiations.
