When converging forces shape every decision, how will COP31 turn ambition into action?

COP31 will bring governments, business and other stakeholders together in Antalya, Türkiye, with a focus on translating climate commitments into practical delivery.

The agenda spans energy, finance, industry, food systems, cities, nature, technology and a just transition – with an emphasis on building a bridge to implementation. For business, these priorities increasingly connect directly to decisions about capital and investments, competitiveness, innovation, resilience and supply chains.

Our focus at COP31

EY's focus at COP31 reflects four interconnected areas that influence business and policy decision-making. Underpinning these are fast-evolving agendas for implementation, just transition and technology. Combined, this is a platform to inform critical conversations and outcomes.

EY at COP31
