UK at COP31
COP31 Digital Showcasing opportunity

Thank you to all organisations that applied. We will review applications and aim to inform successful applicants by 10 July 2026. Final reels are due by 28 August 2026.
If you have any questions, please contact copukpavilion@energysecurity.gov.uk.
The opportunity
Each year at COP, the UK features a digital showcase of products, services, initiatives and actions developed by UK organisations that are delivering real-world climate impact.
We highlight a vibrant landscape of climate pioneers and innovative green industries to a global audience. From businesses and researchers to charities, community groups and civil society organisations, we aim to showcase the breadth and depth of UK action and innovation.
Selected organisations will be showcased through videos lasting up to 90 seconds, which will be curated into a looping video montage for display on screens at COP31. These videos are designed to spark interest, conversation and collaboration.
Digital screen used as part of the UK COP29 Digital Showcasing Programme.
What participants gain
Being part of the UK’s digital showcasing at COP offers a high-profile opportunity to showcase your 'organisation's work and climate impact to an international audience.
In previous years, selected reels were displayed on a large digital screen in the UK Pavilion within COP’s UNFCCC-accredited Blue Zone. The Blue Zone hosts world leaders, national negotiators, business leaders, non-governmental organisations, intergovernmental organisations and media, ensuring a unique and high-profile audience for showcased content.
The showreels were also shared online via YouTube, extending their reach to a global virtual audience.
COP31, taking place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9–20 November 2026, will once again provide an unmissable opportunity for UK organisations to showcase their ambition and impact on a global stage.
