Turkey has announced an initiative addressing artificial intelligence ahead of the COP31 climate summit. COP31 president-designate Murat Kurum said governments must openly discuss AI's growing energy consumption and 'start setting the terms,' signalling that the technology's power demands will be placed on the climate agenda. The move frames AI as an emerging environmental issue requiring international policy coordination.

Why now: Governments are increasingly concerned about the environmental cost of AI data centres as the next UN climate summit approaches.
