How the exam will ask it
ਪ੍ਰੀਲਿਮਜ਼
- The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the supreme decision-making body of the UNFCCC.
- COP31 is scheduled to be held in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026.
- The UNFCCC is the parent treaty of the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
- Climate finance, technology transfer and capacity building are key means of implementation for developing countries.
ਮੇਨਜ਼
GS3 (Environment) and GS2 (International groupings). Developing countries face a gap between promised and delivered climate finance, so India argues for predictable, grant-based support, technology transfer and a just energy transition under CBDR-RC. The way forward lies in transparent finance accounting, a credible post-2025 collective goal and balancing climate action with development needs.
