UN climate summits face ‘fatigue’ and pleas for reform – meaning more coercion?
But it is now facing questions about its future, with France’s ecological transition minister Monique Barbut warning of COP “fatigue”. No groundbreaking announcements are expected when Turkey opens the next two-week conference, COP31, on Monday.
That follows a modest outcome at last year’s summit in Brazil, where countries failed to include an explicit mention of fossil fuels — the main cause of global warming — in the final text. It is a far cry from some of the major agreements of the recent past.
In short they want more alarm and more money, mostly from countries that led the way to prosperity in the modern world. As ever the pressure comes from people who claim that carbon dioxide, a vital gas for trees, plants and vegetation is somehow pollution.

The Conference of the Parties (COP), which brings together nearly 200 countries every year, has delivered some landmark pacts in the recent past, says France24.

‘Designed to fail’
Now there are calls to overhaul COPs, from holding the formal summit every two years to making it a smaller affair or getting rid of the consensus-based system of decision-making.
Panama’s Environment Minister Juan Carlos Navarro said last week that the consensus-based rules allow “one idiot” to block agreement at COP summits and should be replaced by a majority vote.
“COPs have been designed to fail,” he told AFP.
In 2023 the Club of Rome, an international think tank of former heads of state, business leaders and scientists, published an open letter calling for an “urgent reform of the COP process”.
The manifesto pointed out that the consensus-based COP structure was “predisposed to incremental progress”, noting for example that it took seven years for the climate “loss and damage” fund to finally be agreed in 2022.
“This lethargic progress is at odds with climate science and real-world climate damage and risks,” the letter said.
