COP31 is the 31st meeting of the annual UN climate conference series, where countries negotiate their commitments on climate action. The conference takes place from 9 to 20 November 2026 at the Antalya Expo Center in the Aksu district of Antalya, close to Antalya Airport. Türkiye is the host country and holds the COP Presidency, while Australia presides over the negotiations as Vice-President. Unlike previous conferences, the World Leaders' Summit is scheduled for the third and fourth days, 11-12 November, rather than the opening days.
The site is divided into two main areas. The Blue Zone is the official negotiation area managed by the UNFCCC: plenary halls, delegation offices, the media centre and official side events are located here, and entry requires UNFCCC accreditation. The Green Zone is managed by the host country and is open to business, civil society and the public for exhibitions and events. According to the host country, the Blue Zone will have a single entry point with multiple security checkpoints, and the Leaders' Summit will use a separate VVIP entrance and dedicated routes.
A two-week UN conference concentrates the accommodation, transport and meeting needs of tens of thousands of participants into the same dates in one city. Antalya's tourism capacity is large — the host country reports around 300,000 beds in the city centre, Lara, Kundu and Belek areas near the venue — but hotels closest to the Expo site, meeting rooms and chauffeured vehicles are the first to sell out during conference weeks. Traffic restrictions should be expected on some routes during the Leaders' Summit days for security reasons, so daily schedules on those days need wider time buffers.
Blue Zone accreditation is issued only by the UNFCCC, to Party delegations, admitted observer organisations and the media. Travel agencies, event companies and this page do not provide accreditation and cannot speed up the process. Companies usually plan participation through an observer organisation, an industry association or a national delegation they belong to; for Green Zone events, the registration process announced by the host country applies.
COP31 is the busiest meeting point of the year for companies working in climate policy, energy transition, green finance and sustainable production. While direct participation in the negotiations is limited to official delegations, hundreds of side events, panels, business forums and bilateral meetings take place in the Green Zone and in hotels across the city during the conference weeks. Companies use this period to meet regulators, financial institutions and international partners in the same city in the same week, to showcase their sustainability work and to follow new obligations in their sector closely.
For international companies, Türkiye's hosting also offers a chance to combine conference attendance with site visits to Turkish manufacturers, energy projects and suppliers, many of which are within reach of Antalya or a short domestic flight away.
Participants include ministerial and negotiating delegations of the Parties, UN agencies, international financial institutions, admitted civil society observers, academic and research institutions, and the international media. Side events and the Green Zone draw senior executives, chief sustainability officers and investors from energy, transport, construction, agri-food, finance and technology.
Lara and Kundu are the coastal hotel areas closest to the Expo site. Belek's large resorts and conference hotels are about 25-30 km from the venue and are popular for delegation side events thanks to their large meeting rooms. City-centre and Kaleiçi boutique hotels suit small delegations. Keeping a whole delegation in one hotel simplifies daily transfers and security coordination. See our COP31 hotels and transport page for a detailed comparison of areas.
Antalya Airport (AYT) is close to the Expo site. Delegations typically need airport meet-and-greet, hotel transfers and scheduled shuttles between the hotel and the Expo on conference days. On the Leaders' Summit days (11-12 November), earlier departure times and alternative routes are planned to absorb road restrictions. Chauffeured cars, minibuses and coaches fill quickly during conference weeks and should be confirmed by October at the latest.
For side events outside the official zones, ballrooms and meeting rooms in Lara and Belek hotels, city-centre congress venues and historic venues in Kaleiçi are used. Travel time to the Expo site, technical infrastructure, simultaneous interpretation needs and security requirements drive the choice. For programmes outside the conference period, see Antalya DMC.
