Islamabad, 11 November, 2026 (Nosheen): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif joined world leaders at the COP31 Antalya Leaders’ Summit in Türkiye on Wednesday, where he is expected to highlight Pakistan’s climate priorities and urge stronger international cooperation to address the growing challenges of climate change. According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the prime minister upon his arrival at the summit venue. Shehbaz Sharif also held a meeting with President Erdogan and Turkish First Lady Emine Erdoğan, while leaders attending the high-level gathering posed for an official group photograph. The summit has brought together representatives from nearly 200 countries in the Turkish city of Antalya amid growing concerns over rising global temperatures, greenhouse gas emissions and increasingly severe weather events. Pakistan is expected to draw international attention to the difficulties faced by developing countries, which are disproportionately affected by climate change despite contributing relatively little to global emissions. According to the Foreign Office, the prime minister will highlight Pakistan’s progress in accelerating solarisation and expanding renewable energy capacity as part of its efforts to transition towards a cleaner and more climate-resilient economy. He is also expected to underscore initiatives aimed at strengthening disaster preparedness and early-warning systems, while calling for adequate, predictable and accessible climate financing to help developing countries improve resilience and achieve sustainable development.
