What is COP31?
The 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be hosted by Türkiye in Antalya. This landmark event brings together 197 parties to advance global climate action under the Paris Agreement.
COP31 President-Designate Murat Kurum, Türkiye's Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, leads with a vision for the "COP of Implementation" — guided by three principles: Dialogue, Consensus, and Action.
