Hi, I’m Molly Lempriere, Carbon Brief’s policy section editor. As people begin to pack their bags and head to Antalya, I wanted to flag a few articles Carbon Brief has published this week that provide a primer for COP31: For our interactive “who wants what” piece, we trawled through more than 100 submissions to provide a look at what the key issues are likely to be and where parties stand on them. > **[Interactive: Who wants what at the COP31 climate change summit - Carbon Brief](https://www.carbonbrief.org/interactive-who-wants-what-at-the-cop31-climate-change-summit)** > > Carbon Brief has analysed around 100 documents at COP31 and captured them in an interactive table On Tuesday, both the deforestation and fossil fuel transition roadmaps were launched. We covered all the key details in the deforestation roadmap, including the actions it sets out and the cross-border challenges nations need to tackle. > **[Q&A: What is the Brazil-led ‘deforestation roadmap’? - Carbon Brief](https://www.carbonbrief.org/qa-what-is-the-brazil-led-deforestation-roadmap)** > > Carbon Brief explains where the deforestation roadmap came from, what it entails, why some did not sign on – and what’s next. The Brazil-led roadmap to “transition away from fossil fuels” recognises that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach, but calls on countries to assess their readiness and then pursue “tailored levers” to take action. > **[Q&A: What is in the global ‘roadmap’ for transitioning away from fossil fuels?...](https://www.carbonbrief.org/qa-what-is-in-the-global-roadmap-for-transitioning-away-from-fossil-fuels)** > > Transitioning away from fossil fuels is “urgent, inevitable and, yet, possible”, says a first-of-its-kind global “roadmap” produced by Brazil. Finally, Carbon Brief has published its text tracker – this will pull through all the negotiating texts across the two weeks of COP31, highlighting the progress made on each agenda item based on how “clean” the texts are – namely, how much bracketed text they contain. It’s a super handy way to see how the summit is progressing and how many agenda items are stuck in “fights” over their precise wording. > **[Interactive: Tracking negotiating texts at the COP31 climate summit - Carbon...](https://www.carbonbrief.org/interactive-tracking-negotiating-texts-at-the-cop31-climate-summit)** > > The centrepiece of every UN climate summit is for countries to negotiate the wording of a large number of legal agreements – and COP31 in the Turkish city of Antalya is no different. And, in case handy, here’s a reminder what happened last year at COP30 and at Bonn in June: COP30: Key outcomes agreed at the UN climate talks in Belém [https://www.carbonbrief.org/cop30-key-outcomes-agreed-at-the-un-climate-talks-in-belem](https://www.carbonbrief.org/cop30-key-outcomes-agreed-at-the-un-climate-talks-in-belem) Bonn climate talks: Key outcomes from the June 2026 UN climate conference [https://www.carbonbrief.org/bonn-climate-talks-key-outcomes-from-the-june-2026-un-climate-conference](https://www.carbonbrief.org/bonn-climate-talks-key-outcomes-from-the-june-2026-un-climate-conference) We have more COP31 pieces coming next week – and you’ll be the first to know here! ---

Thanks Molly - super useful. Especially interested in how the JTM shapes up and how it does or doesn’t include financial support for implementation. Busy couple of weeks ahead! ---

Hi @dave, I’m also really keen to see how the just transition mechanism comes together, I’ve spoken to various people in recent weeks about it, and I think it’s unlikely to include financial support for implementation. The pitch from civil society at least seems to be more focused on creating a resource hub that would streamline access to pre-existing sources of finance, But given how little detail there was in the final text coming out of Bonn, lots is still really unclear. It’s going to be a hectic two weeks for negotiators trying to fill in all the gaps! In case it’s helpful, we published a piece today setting out what we know about the mechanism: > **[Q&A: What is the Belém-Antalya mechanism for a ‘just transition’?  - Carbon...](https://www.carbonbrief.org/qa-what-is-the-belem-antalya-mechanism-for-a-just-transition)** > > Carbon Brief looks at where the idea for the BAM came from, how it could support just transitions and what to expect from COP31
