28,000 personnel will be on duty in Antalya for COP31

Antalya will deploy approximately 28,000 personnel to manage traffic and security during the COP31 climate summit, with traffic monitored in real time via helicopter, drones and cameras. Authorities will reconfigure lanes on the D-400 highway and impose restrictions on heavy vehicles for the duration of the summit. The measures signal the scale of logistics planning required for the high-profile UN climate conference, which is expected to draw large delegations and international attention to the region. What to watch next is whether the lane changes and heavy-vehicle curbs ease congestion or disrupt local freight and commuter traffic during the event.
