Queen Mary is in Antalya to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), which is being held at the Antalya Expo Center. On her final day at the conference, Queen Mary met with representatives from the Pacific Islands. She also visited the Moana Pacific Blue Pavilion, a shared space for Pacific Island nations.
The meeting focused on the social, economic and personal consequences of climate change for Pacific Island nations, which are among the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. In 2023, Queen Mary visited Fiji and Vanuatu, where she met people who had witnessed their homes and livelihoods disappear before their eyes.
Denmark supports sustainable development in the region, including through the establishment of a regional commissioner – a first for an international partner – tasked with accelerating the transition to green energy (renewable energy), including through the development of offshore wind power.
Offshore wind is seen as a key driver of the essential transition to green energy. This was also the focus of Queen Mary's subsequent participation in an event hosted by the Danish-led Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA).
GOWA was launched at COP27 in 2022 and works to significantly expand offshore wind capacity worldwide. Its more than 40 members include national, state and regional governments, as well as Danish companies such as CIP, Ramboll, Vestas and Ørsted.
Are they there to wrangle new economic deals for their countries, or to talk about saving the planet?

حذفFair response to my question!
حذفNot a fan of the vest, though the suit is okay, personally I do not favour a pinstripe suit on women or men. She dresses well.
ردحذفThe pinstripe pantsuit looks well made and fitted perfectly. She looks professional and stylish.
