As Australia prepares to take on a leadership role in COP31, including as President of Negotiations, there are opportunities to get involved.
COP is the world's leading climate summit. It brings together governments, businesses, communities and civil society to drive climate action. COP31 is a significant opportunity for Australia as we partner with Türkiye and the Pacific to deliver this event.
COP31 will taking place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026. As President of Negotiations, Australia will play a key role in guiding negotiations and driving ambition. We will also help shape practical outcomes that drive implementation of the Paris Agreement.
This is an opportunity for Australia to share our leadership, innovation and clean energy progress with the world.
