As part of the compromise between rival Turkey and Australia\u2019s bids for the COP31 climate summit in 2026, Climate Minister Chirs Bowen has been appointed as a \u201cCOP president\u201d.<\/p>\n
After years of negotiations the nations have come to the deal that the Pacific hosts a \u201cpre-COP\u201d event, Mr Bowen receives a significant presidency role but Turkey ultimately gains hosting rights of the climate conference.<\/p>\n
While the host nation always gets the COP presidency rights at the event \u2014 meaning Turkey will have that this year \u2014 Mr Bowen has been appointed president of negotiations in the lead up to the summit.<\/p>\n
It means he\u2019ll attend various engagements globally, deliver speeches and help shape debate in the lead up to the next COP summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically, as COP president of negotiations, I would have all the powers of the COP presidency to manage, to handle the negotiations, to appoint co-facilitators, to prepare draft text and to issue a cover decision,\u201d Mr Bowen said, when asked to explain the nuance between the two presidency gigs.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously it\u2019s tradition that the COP president is the host and handles the venues and the operation of the COP session.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of the compromise between rival Turkey and Australia\u2019s bids for the COP31 climate summit in 2026,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44,84],"class_list":["post-295943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news","tag-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
