Algeria to Showcase Climate Strategy at COP31

The 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP31, opened on November 9 in Antalya, Turkey. The conference aims to transform international climate commitments into concrete actions. Algeria will participate in the event with an exceptional program to showcase its climate strategy. The program highlights Algeria's efforts to integrate climate action into its public policies. This approach aims to make environmental action a driver of economic diversification and productive investment.

The conference will focus on several key areas, including electrification, transition to renewable energy, food security, water resource management, decarbonization of heavy industry, and protection of marine ecosystems. One of the priorities is the "35 by 35" initiative, which aims to accelerate the development of electric mobility and infrastructure by 2035. Algeria's participation in COP31 will also focus on reinforcing its systems for measuring, reporting, and verifying emissions.

Algeria's climate strategy is based on its National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNACC) by 2035. The plan was developed in coordination with the United Nations and serves as a reference for evaluating risks and implementing adaptation measures. The strategy also aims to enhance the country's systems for monitoring and alerting on climate-related issues.

The conference will feature a global summit of leaders on November 11 and 12, followed by a high-level ministerial segment from November 16 to 20. The technical negotiations will be led by Australia, in consultation with Pacific island states. Algeria's participation in COP31 is expected to contribute to international discussions on carbon market governance.

Algeria's Minister of Environment and Quality of Life, Kaouter Krikou, recently presented the country's climate strategy. The strategy focuses on integrating climate action into public policies and using environmental action as a driver of economic diversification and investment. Algeria aims to defend an international climate governance approach based on equity, solidarity, and respect for sovereign development choices.

The conference takes place from November 9 to 20, with Turkey as the host and president. The event aims to address pressing climate issues and find solutions to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable economy. Algeria's participation in COP31 reflects its commitment to addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development.

Through its participation in COP31, Algeria seeks to demonstrate its commitment to climate action and sustainable development.
