Tarkan releases climate video for COP31 summit in Antalya

RuskiGazeta Editorial DeskUpdated:
Turkish singer Tarkan, known to Russian listeners for the hit “Şımarık,” recorded an English-language version of his song “Uyan” (“Wake Up”) for the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), which Türkiye will host in Antalya. The new version is titled “Wake Up.” Tarkan supported the project on a voluntary basis.
From scorched forests to the ocean
Tarkan wrote both the music and lyrics for the original song. In the video, which runs for about three minutes, he sings among scorched forests, drought-cracked earth and ocean landscapes, while images of plastic waste highlight personal and collective responsibility for the planet’s future. The Turkish lyrics call out: “Wake up, wake up, my friend, wake up, put your hand on your heart before our time runs out.”
What awaits Antalya
COP31 will take place from November 9 to 20 at the Antalya EXPO Center. Türkiye’s Environment Minister Murat Kurum said that 91 heads of state have already confirmed their participation; delegations from 196 countries, around 300 ministers and up to 1.5 million visitors are expected.
Earlier, as part of the campaign, Türkiye released the English-language song “Let's COP” and an advertisement featuring a figure skater on melting ice.
