Where will the third phase of LeadIT be launched?
- A.At COP31 in Antalya, Turkiye
- B.At the World Economic Forum in Davos
- C.At the UN Climate Action Summit in New York
- D.At a summit in Stockholm
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is at COP31 in Antalya, Turkiye. The Union Environment Minister and the Swedish Ministry of Climate and Enterprise will launch the third phase at the LeadIT Industry Leaders Roundtable held during that climate conference, on 17 November 2026. Option B is wrong because the World Economic Forum supported the creation of the group but the launch is not set for Davos. Option C is a trap built on real facts, since the climate summit in New York is where the group itself was launched in 2019, but the new phase will not be launched there. Option D is wrong as well; no launch in the Swedish capital was announced. The New Delhi interaction reported here was held in the run-up to India’s participation at the conference, which is why the minister met member companies from steel, cement and transport and the research institutes working on low carbon technologies.
