Environment Minister Sofjan Jaupaj said the upcoming events will focus on implementing national climate targets, strengthening cooperation between institutions and involving various stakeholders in climate action.

Discussions will also address the development of a new generation of climate leaders and the role of academic research in driving action at the local level. Youth engagement through the Albanian Youth Agenda for Climate Change will also feature prominently.

Jaupaj said the Albanian Pavilion continues to provide a platform for sharing experiences, presenting initiatives and strengthening cooperation to address climate challenges.

COP31 plays a key role in global climate negotiations. The conference addresses emissions reduction targets, climate finance and adaptation to the effects of climate change.
