UK at COP31
COP31 UK Pavilion Events Programme
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the UK Pavilion at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 - 20 November 2026.
Across the two weeks, we’ll bring together government, business, civil society and international partners to share ideas, build connections and explore how we can turn climate ambition into action.
From clean energy and resilience to nature and finance, our programme will showcase leadership from the UK and around the world, with a focus on practical action that supports security, growth and better outcomes for people and communities.
Our events will complement the COP31 Presidency’s thematic days, details below, while telling a wider story about partnership, delivery and impact.
There’s plenty more to come, with full event details, speakers and timings to be announced shortly.
