COP31 is the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), hosted by Türkiye in Antalya in November 2026. The summit brings together heads of state, ministers, scientists, business leaders, and civil society representatives from nearly 200 countries to negotiate and advance collective climate action, with an expected attendance of approximately 100,000 participants.
At COP31 in Antalya, GlobalABC will continue to champion ambitious climate action for the buildings and construction sector through high-level dialogue, strategic partnerships and collaborative initiatives. As the global advocate for decarbonising the built environment, GlobalABC will be hosting the Buildings and Cooling Pavilion, bringing together governments, industry, finance, and civil society to accelerate the transition towards a zero-emission, resilient and sustainable buildings sector.
