- On Tuesday, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav outlined India's priorities for COP31, emphasizing the nation's role representing the Global South at the November 9–20 conference in Antalya, Turkey.
- The 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change convenes to advance the 2015 Paris Agreement, where governments discuss strategies for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
