COP31 Antalya 2026

The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) will take place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026. The event will bring together world leaders, policymakers, climate experts, businesses and civil society representatives to discuss international efforts to address climate change.

As a major forum for global climate negotiations, COP31 aims to build on previous commitments, advance the implementation of the Paris Agreement and strengthen international cooperation towards a more sustainable future.

About COP31

The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the annual meeting of countries participating in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It provides a platform for negotiating climate policies, discussing emissions reduction targets and addressing the challenges associated with global warming.

COP31 will bring together government delegations and representatives from different sectors to exchange knowledge and explore solutions related to the energy transition, climate adaptation, sustainable development and climate finance.

Türkiye will host the conference in Antalya, placing the Mediterranean city at the centre of international climate discussions for almost two weeks.

Transportation options may include official conference shuttles, taxis, public transport and private transfers. Participants should check official COP31 announcements for confirmed shuttle routes, schedules and other local transportation information.

When booking accommodation, it is worth considering the distance to the venue, planned meetings and daily conference schedule. Allowing extra time for travel is also advisable during a major international event.
