An Australian representative would serve in the lesser \u2014 and not completely defined \u2014 role of the \u201cPresident of Negotiations \u2026 who will have exclusive authority in relation to the negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIf there is a difference of views between T\u00fcrkiye and Australia, consultations will take place until the difference is resolved to mutual satisfaction,\u201d according to the deal, which adopted the Turkish government\u2019s preferred spelling for its country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The unusual arrangement followed more than a year of head-butting between the two countries over who should host the 2026 talks, with Turkey claiming it on behalf of other developing nations while Australia pitched itself as an avatar for the endangered Pacific islands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s never been done before. There\u2019s never been a shared presidency,\u201d said Alden Meyer, a senior associate at the E3G think tank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite Bowen identifying himself as the Australian representative, it was not within his power to choose, the deal made clear. Turkey would assign a representative of Australia to that role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Turkey had proposed hosting the talks in the Mediterranean city of Antalya. Recent U.N. summits have been held in 2023 in Dubai, last year in Baku, Azerbaijan, and this month in the Amazonian port city of Bel\u00e9m, Brazil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/official-turkey-boss-cop31-climate-000429079.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEL&Eacute;M, Brazil &mdash; Turkey has won the right to host next year&rsquo;s U.N. climate talks &mdash; and to preside over the talks,<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/turkey-will-be-boss-of-cop31-climate-talks\/21\/11\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54374,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/cv\/apiv2\/social\/images\/yahoo_default_logo-1200x1200.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54373"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
