Road to COP31: Public Workshop for All
COP31 takes place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026, under a first-of-its-kind shared presidency between Türkiye and Australia, with Pacific nations closely involved. For many people, COP is hard to access and the process can feel opaque, even to experienced advocates.
Road to COP31 is a 90-minute interactive session to change that. Whether you are travelling to Antalya or following from home, you’ll leave with practical skills and a concrete plan to engage.
