The 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) will bring governments, businesses and climate leaders from around the world together in Antalya, Türkiye to build momentum on the next phase of global climate action.

UKGBC will be on the ground, engaging with partners, businesses, and governments to champion the built environment’s role in delivering a just and sustainable transition.

With the focus of climate action increasingly shifting from ambition to delivery, the built environment has a critical role to play in turning global climate commitments into meaningful action. UKGBC’s Chief Executive, Simon McWhirter, and Senior Policy Advisor, Kirsty Girvan, will be representing UKGBC on the international stage, sharing UK expertise and insights while building connections across the global movement for sustainable buildings and a low-carbon future.

We will update this page in due course as our engagements and activities are confirmed.
