Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan said she hopes COP31 decisions will lead to steps that protect nature and ensure a fair sharing of the burden of climate change.
In a social media post, Erdogan described the summit period as one of sustained diplomatic activity. She said COP31 brought together 196 countries and the European Union.
Her post put the leader count at 102: heads of state or government from 95 nations spanning six continents, as well as leaders of seven international organizations. She put overall participation at 100,000.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) lists the Antalya conference as running through Nov. 20.
