U.S. Again Sits Out Global Climate Talks

The U.S. has again declined to send an official delegation to the UN climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, where 197 countries are participating in COP31. According to Sina Finance, this is the second consecutive year the U.S. has stayed out of the negotiations; a group of 120 U.S. officials led by former White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy is attending, and about 19 Democratic House members plan to go.
