Meeting in Antalya
COP31, where concrete decisions will be made to address the climate crisis, will be held in Antalya, Turkey, this November. Join us in exploring this major summit, where world leaders, scientists, and policymakers will come together, and follow all the latest developments in real time.
With the Industrial Revolution, air pollution became particularly concentrated in cities, and natural resources were rapidly depleted. At the same time, major natural disasters occurred worldwide, and the world found itself facing a global climate crisis that is difficult to reverse.
The Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015 with the aim of fostering global unity. This major consensus was brought to life through the joint signatures of 195 countries. Under the agreement, the goals are to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C and to establish a just transition process for everyone.
At the COP summits organized for this purpose, countries’ commitments to reducing carbon emissions and their progress are assessed, sustainable environmental policies are developed, and the provision of global financial support is sought.
Joint policies are being developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set global climate goals.
The climate action plans prepared by participating countries are officially presented at the summit. These concrete and measurable targets are reviewed transparently to assess global progress.
Public, private, and civil society sectors, along with international financial resources, are being brought together to develop joint solutions to the climate crisis.
The decisions made are generating long-term solutions for the environment, the economy, and society. The goal is to build a fair and sustainable future for everyone.
World leaders are gathering in Antalya. COP31 is set to begin on the scheduled date as a critical summit where decisions that will shape the future of the climate will be made.
Leaders from around the world are coming together not only to address today’s challenges but also to make decisions that will shape the world of tomorrow. This platform, where bold steps, innovative ideas, and global collaborations come together to tackle the climate crisis, is laying the foundation for a more sustainable and resilient future.
The fact that the COP31 Summit will take place in Antalya will raise global awareness of our country’s initiatives in the fields of climate diplomacy and environmental policies. Thanks to this historic gathering, Turkey’s vision for sustainable development will gain much greater visibility worldwide.
During the summit, global investors, international organizations, and scientists will be hosted in our country, resulting in multifaceted benefits in terms of both tourism and prestige.
Turkey aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 466 Mt CO₂e compared to the Reference Scenario and, in this context, to limit greenhouse gas emissions to 643 Mt CO₂e by 2035.
Turkey’s first Climate Law, which guides the country’s climate efforts, was published in the Official Gazette on July 9, 2025, and entered into force. Under the Act, it was decided to establish economic instruments such as the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the Turkish Green Taxonomy to safeguard the international competitiveness of Turkish industry. The aim is to facilitate financing for green investments and thereby translate the emission reduction targets outlined in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) into reality through a legal mechanism.
