Held in Antalya, Türkiye, 9-20 November, COP31 will focus on accelerating delivery of the Paris Agreement, strengthening international cooperation and converting climate commitments into real-world action.

Governments, climate scientists, international organisations and the private sector will come together to drive action on emissions reduction, climate finance, and adaptation and resilience, among other matters, while supporting an inclusive and just transition.

Ipieca’s role at COP31

As a non-lobby organisation with UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) observer status, Ipieca has attended every UNFCCC COP event since the first one in 1995.

Ipieca’s role at UNFCCC COPs is to listen to negotiations, feedback the outcomes to our members and integrate them into our workstreams and guidance.

Ipieca also organises its own on-site events and participates in other organisations’ events focused on driving cross-sector action to support a net-zero future.

In line with Ipieca’s non-lobby status, Ipieca representatives at COP events listen to, but do not take part in negotiations, or engage in any lobby activity related to climate or any other topic.
