President Daniel Chapo will represent Mozambique at the 31st United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP 31), taking place in Antalya, Turkey, from 11 to 12 November. He is expected to advocate for enhanced international cooperation and climate financing aimed at assisting nations most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Chapo’s attendance at the World Climate Action Summit, part of COP 31, aligns with Mozambique’s ongoing efforts to garner international support to mitigate the effects of extreme weather events and bolster the country’s national response capabilities.

Under the theme “Towards a Sustainable, Resilient, and Equitable Future,” the conference will bring together leaders and representatives from diverse nations to discuss climate-related challenges and coordinate global responses.

During the two-day event, Chapo will engage in high-level meetings and activities focused on the climate agenda, providing opportunities for dialogue on mitigation strategies, adaptation methods, and international cooperation.

Mozambique’s participation also aims to reaffirm the country’s commitment to global climate action, with particular emphasis on securing financial resources for states that are most affected by climate change.

The presidential delegation includes the First Lady, Gueta Chapo, the Minister in the Presidency for Civil Affairs, Ricardo Sengo, the Secretary of State for Land and Environment, Gustavo Dgedge, and members from the Presidency and other state institutions.
