\u00dcmit \u015eahin, a prominent Turkish climate policy expert and coordinator of Climate Change Studies at Sabanc\u0131 University’s Istanbul Policy Center, has expressed optimism that T\u00fcrkiye’s hosting of COP31 in 2026 could advance key issues stalled at COP30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent statements reported by Anadolu Agency and outlets like T\u00fcrkiye Today and Daily Sabah (January 2026), \u015eahin highlighted COP30’s shortcomings: insufficient progress on deforestation (despite being held in the Amazon), limited ambition in fossil fuel phase-out, and emissions reduction pledges far below IPCC recommendations (only ~12% by 2035 vs. the needed 60%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COP31 offers new opportunity after COP30 conference failures, says climate expert<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Anadolu Agency<\/strong>
January 08, 2026 03:12 AM GMT+03:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C<\/strong>limate policy expert Umit Sahin said climate issues that failed to gain traction at last year\u2019s global talks could advance at COP31, which will be hosted and chaired by T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described COP30 as a weakened conference, citing the absence of the United States after President Donald Trump withdrew the country from the Paris Agreement and took steps against renewable energy policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Brazil framed the summit as an \u201cAmazon COP,\u201d Sahin said it failed to deliver a concrete roadmap to reverse deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COP31 was awarded to T\u00fcrkiye following negotiations led by Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum, and will be hosted and chaired by the country next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sahin said competition between Australia and T\u00fcrkiye during the bidding process raised expectations for COP31, which he described as potentially ambitious and distinctive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCOP30 was not sufficiently successful<\/strong> on deforestation,\u201d Sahin said, adding that T\u00fcrkiye could take a leading role on the issue at COP31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something to do with the Mercator-IPC fellowship programme?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

2025\/26 MERCATOR-IPC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM GUIDELINES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mercator-IPC Fellowship Program, a key component of the Istanbul Policy Center-Sabanc\u0131 University-Stiftung Mercator Initiative, is designed to create a dynamic and engaging environment for international scholars, journalists, professionals, and civil society activists. At its core, the program aims to strengthen academic, political, and social ties between Turkey and Germany, as well as Turkey and Europe, by supporting exceptional scientific research and practical policy work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program emphasizes the following thematic areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EU\/German-Turkish relations
Climate change<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by the Istanbul Policy Center (IPC), an independent policy research institute with global outreach located in downtown Istanbul, the program offers access to a rich network of academics, civil society activists, and decision makers. IPC, \u2026 This affiliation grants them full access to Sabanc\u0131 University\u2019s extensive intellectual resources and scientific knowledge, enriching their fellowship experience with a wealth of academic and research opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellows are selected based on the in-person interviews conducted by an international jury consisting of eminent experts from the two thematic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury team is composed of jurors from both thematic areas. Subsequently, the jurors, IPC Director, and a representative of Stiftung Mercator convene for a final meeting to select the fellows.<\/strong> The following questions are essential to the jury\u2019s decision:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Turkish climate activist, whose main current claim to fame appears to be serving on the board of a college grant committee as a \u201cclimate juror\u201d, thinks Turkey can tame President Trump\u2019s USA, and convince Middle Eastern oil giants to sign a COP31 fossil fuel economic suicide pact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But perhaps I\u2019m being too hasty. Because Turkey is going to have help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COP31 president of negotiations is going to be Australia\u2019s own Chris Bowen<\/a>, the guy who thinks you can store electricity like water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Chris Bowen isn’t having any of Uhlmann’s ‘wind doesn’t always blow’ rhetoric.

“the rain doesn’t always fall either, but we manage to store the water \u2013 we can store the renewable energy if we have the investment”#auspol<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LjJkEr3zJy<\/a>\u2014 Squizz (@SquizzSTK) June 16, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With a lineup of talent like this, how could COP31 possibly be a dismal failure, like all the previous climate conferences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
