Azerbaijan, Brazil, Türkiye and Australia have jointly prepared a global climate report based on 148 written submissions from governments and organizations.

The report, titled Belém Mission to 1.5: Enabling Ambition and Accelerating Implementation of NDCs and NAPs, was presented at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye.

Its purpose is to help countries implement nationally determined contributions to reduce emissions and national adaptation plans for responding to climate change.

Four Countries Led the 2026 Process

The work was conducted under a mandate given to the COP29, COP30 and COP31 presidencies. Azerbaijan participated as the COP29 presidency, Brazil as the COP30 presidency, while Türkiye and Australia are working on the COP31 agenda.

Throughout 2026, the organizers consulted governments, international organizations, businesses, researchers and civil-society groups. Meetings took place in several cities, including Baku and Shamakhi.

The final report reviewed 148 written submissions from countries and organizations.

Report Covers Energy, Industry and Adaptation

The document identifies practical measures for energy, industry, agriculture, forestry, health care, urban development and ocean protection.

The proposed measures are intended to accelerate national climate plans, strengthen resilience to climate impacts and create economic opportunities through investment and technological development.

The Belém Mission process was established to identify high-impact opportunities, barriers and actionable solutions for keeping the 1.5-degree Celsius goal within reach while strengthening adaptation.

A full official presentation is scheduled for Nov. 16 at a high-level COP31 event in Antalya. The report has already been published by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
