The 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change will meet from 9–20 November 2026 at the Antalya EXPO Center in Türkiye. Türkiye will host the conference and lead its presidency and action agenda, while Australia's climate minister Chris Bowen is expected to lead the formal negotiating process.
UNFCCC describes COP meetings as the world's principal multilateral decision-making forum on climate change. Beyond the negotiations, COP31 will draw attention from investors, technology providers and project developers looking for clearer signals on clean-energy deployment, adaptation, climate finance, resilient infrastructure and industrial decarbonisation.

COP decisions influence the policy, finance and deployment conditions for clean energy, industrial decarbonisation, adaptation and climate technology worldwide. The 2026 meeting is expected to test whether governments can translate previous commitments into investable programmes and measurable delivery.
