About

What is a Türkiye Pavilion side event?

Side events organised at the COP31 Türkiye Pavilion are complementary events designed to support knowledge sharing, the exchange of implementation experiences, capacity building and cooperation among stakeholders.

They provide a platform outside the formal negotiation process for public institutions, international organisations, local governments, the private sector, academia, civil society and other stakeholders to present work aligned with COP31 priorities to an international audience.

What we look for

Beyond promotion, towards implementation

Applications are expected to go beyond institutional promotion or commercial visibility. Priority is given to proposals that present concrete, implementation-oriented work designed to serve public value.

01

Concrete climate action

Practical solutions, project experience and measurable results rather than general statements of intent.

02

Policy and finance

Policy contributions, financing models and investment approaches that can be applied and scaled.

Technology and capacity

Technology applications and capacity-building approaches, open to international participation.
