💨 Abstract

Australia and Turkey are in a standoff over hosting the United Nations climate change talks in 2026 at this year's COP29 summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. Both countries are emphasizing their green initiatives and regional advantages in their bids, with Australia focusing on the Pacific region's vulnerable island states and Turkey on its Mediterranean location and smaller oil and gas industry. The host country plays a central role in brokering compromises and promoting green industries.
