21 May 2026

I have the honour to refer to your letter dated 19 May 2026, reference EC-2026-76, including its enclosures, Annexes I, II, III and IV (the "Letter"), which reads as follows:

"I have the honour to refer to the arrangements for the pre-sessional meetings of the least developed countries, the small island developing States, the African Group and the Group of 77 and China (the "Pre-sessional Meetings") and the thirty-first session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (the "COP"), the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, the eighth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement and the sessions of the subsidiary bodies (hereinafter referred to as the "Conference"), which are scheduled to be held at the COP31 Center, Expo Alani, Solak Mahallesi, Alanya Karayolu 18.Km. 07112, Aksu, Antalya, Türkiye, (the "Conference premises"), from 3 to 20 November 2026, inclusive.

The COP in its decision 18/CP.30 mandated the conclusion of a Host Country Agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to United Nations General Assembly resolution 40/243 and the provisions of the United Nations administrative instruction ST/AI/342. Accordingly, the Agreement is being worked upon between the Government of Türkiye (the "Government") and the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement (the "secretariat"), jointly the "Parties". The Agreement will be signed upon its finalization, preferably before the sixty-fourth session of the subsidiary bodies (June 2026).

The secretariat has commenced its preparations for the Conference and so as not to delay the required transfer of funds from the Government to the secretariat, which ordinarily would be transferred under the terms of the Agreement, the Government has agreed to transfer the funds to the secretariat pursuant to the terms herein, in addition to the other financial obligations that will be agreed in the Agreement, which the Parties are working on to finalise.

These funds to be transferred, which are provisionally estimated to be United States dollars seven million seven hundred fifteen thousand two hundred (USD 7,715,200) as detailed in annex IV, attached herewith, are agreed to include, but not be restricted to the actual additional costs of travel and staff entitlements of the officials of the secretariat and other United Nations officials assigned to plan for, service or attend the Conference, as well as the costs of preparatory missions required to plan for the Conference, including those undertaken prior to the date of this letter and the cost of information and cyber security and digital platform services. A breakdown of the estimated additional

costs and a description of the information and cyber security and digital platform services are contained in the annexes I and II attached herewith.

In the occurrence, with the present letter, I wish to obtain the Government's acceptance of the following terms and conditions regarding the transfer of the aforesaid estimated amount to the secretariat:

1. The arrangements for the travel of and the actual payment of the entitlements for the officials of the secretariat and other officials of the United Nations required to plan for or service the Pre-sessional Meetings/Conference shall be made by the secretariat in accordance with the Staff Regulations and Rules of the United Nations and related administrative issuances of the United Nations/secretariat regarding travel standards, baggage allowances, subsistence payments and terminal expenses. All procurement activities undertaken by the secretariat for the Conference shall be carried out in accordance with the Financial Regulations and Rules of the secretariat/United Nations and other regulations and rules.

2. The Government shall book and pay for a contingent of individual hotel rooms, including breakfast, for the secretariat and other United Nations staff and contractors who are officially assigned to service the Pre-sessional Meetings/Conference. This contingent of hotel rooms will also include rooms for the United Nations Secretary-General and his immediate team. The Government shall also reserve a contingent of hotel rooms, including breakfast, for participants which the secretariat and certain participants will cover. The number of estimated rooms to be booked and paid by the Government and the number of rooms for which the Government will book, and the secretariat and certain participants will pay directly to the Government are detailed in annex III attached herewith.

3. The Government shall, within two weeks of the entry into force of this agreement to be concluded through exchange of letters, deposit with the secretariat the sum of United States dollars seven million seven hundred fifteen thousand two hundred (USD 7,715,200). If necessary, the Government shall make further advances as requested by the secretariat in a timely manner so that the latter will not be required to finance temporarily from its cash resources the costs that are the responsibility of the Government.

4. The deposit and advances required under paragraph 3 above shall be used only to pay the obligations of the secretariat in respect of the Pre-sessional Meetings/Conference.

5. All amounts to be made available to the secretariat by the Government pursuant to this letter shall be deposited by wire transfer to the following account:

6. The administrative support costs of the secretariat will be covered through a five (5) per cent charge on the actual expenditures from the funds provided by the Government pursuant to this letter.

7. The secretariat shall provide an interim financial report to the Government by 30 June 2027. By 30 December 2027, the secretariat shall provide to the Government a final financial report showing the actual additional costs, if any, incurred by the secretariat and to be borne by the Government pursuant to this letter and the terms of the Agreement. The costs shall be expressed in United States dollars, using the United Nations official rate of exchange at the time the costs were incurred. The secretariat, based on the final financial report, shall refund to the Government any funds unspent from the amounts deposited or advanced by the Government to the bank account details of which will be provided by the Government. Should the actual additional costs exceed the deposit and advances, the Government shall remit the outstanding balance within two months of the receipt of the final financial report. The final financial report shall be subject to audit, as provided for in the Financial Regulations and Rules of the secretariat/United Nations, and the final adjustments of accounts shall be subject to any observations that may arise from the audit carried out by the United Nations Board of Auditors, whose determination shall be accepted as final by the secretariat and the Government.

8. If the Pre-sessional meetings/Conference are postponed or cancelled in accordance with Article 13 (Pandemics and force majeure) of the Agreement, which is to be agreed between the Parties, the Parties shall consult and mutually agree on the settlement of any matters arising as a result of such postponement or cancellation, including on the funds provided by the Government pursuant to this letter. In the event of cancellation, the secretariat shall return to the Government any part of the deposit and advances that is unspent and/or uncommitted. The secretariat shall not be liable to repay or compensate the Government for any goods, services, or facilities procured, or costs incurred whatsoever, in relation to or resulting from such postponement or cancellation of the Pre-sessional Meetings/Conference.

9. Any dispute between the Parties arising out of, or relating to this letter, which is not settled by negotiation or another agreed mode of settlement, shall be settled in accordance with Article 15 (Settlement of disputes) of the Agreement, which is to be agreed between the Parties.

I further propose that upon receipt of your confirmation in writing of the above, this exchange of letters shall constitute an agreement between the secretariat and the Government regarding these arrangements, which shall enter into force on the date of receipt of a written notification by the secretariat from the Government through diplomatic channels that all internal procedures for its entry into force have been completed. The secretariat shall immediately inform the Government in writing of the date of receipt of Government's notification."

In reply, I have the honour to confirm that the foregoing proposal is acceptable to Republic of Türkiye and that this letter and your letter constitute an agreement on this matter, which shall enter into force in accordance with the terms of the Letter.
