What the briefing reports
COP31, the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference, is scheduled to open in Antalya, Türkiye, on Monday, 9 November 2026, and continue through 20 November. The gathering will bring together national delegations, climate negotiators and observers from civil society, science, business and other groups. The official venue is the Antalya Expo Center, according to UN Climate Change.
Governments are expected to discuss cutting greenhouse gas emissions, helping communities adapt to climate impacts and financing climate action, particularly in developing countries. UN Climate Change describes the 2026 meeting as a chance to move from commitments to implementation. Those are goals for discussion, not outcomes already agreed by participating nations.
Türkiye is hosting COP31, with Murat Kurum nominated as president of the conference. Australia's Chris Bowen is designated president of negotiations under the arrangements described by UN Climate Change. A world leaders' summit is scheduled for 11 and 12 November, separately from the opening day of the broader conference.
