UNFCCC COP31

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change COP31 convenes world leaders, climate negotiators, government delegations, business representatives, and civil society observers at Antalya Expo Center in Antalya, Turkey, November 9–20, 2026. This biennial international conference brings together government delegations from 190+ countries to negotiate binding climate commitments, review progress toward Paris Agreement goals through the comprehensive Global Stocktake process, establish innovative climate finance mechanisms, determine emissions reduction targets, and finalize technology transfer frameworks for developing nations. COP31 features extensive side events hosted by subnational governments, multinational corporations, NGOs, and bilateral delegations showcasing climate action progress across sectors. The conference serves as the primary global forum where U.S. federal climate diplomacy, subnational state leadership (U.S. Climate Alliance), and private sector climate commitments intersect with international climate negotiations and policy-making.
