COP31 Day 2: Your morning brief

Day 2 of the UN Cli­mate Change Con­fer­ence is un­der­way in An­talya, Türkiye (for those who could get there). Del­e­gates have been left frus­trat­ed with some stuck in traf­fic for as many as three hours (and count­ing). Any­way, here are the five things you should know as the con­fer­ence en­ters day two:

1) Both the UN and Turk­ish flags are be­ing flown at half-mast to com­mem­o­rate the death of Türkiye's found­ing fa­ther, Mustafa Ke­mal Atatürk.

2) To­day will be piv­otal as ne­go­tia­tors set the stage for world lead­ers who are set to ar­rive to­mor­row.
