Environmental Defense Fund at COP31

Antalya, Türkiye | Nov. 9-20, 2026

The annual United Nations climate conference brings nearly every country on Earth together to confront climate change.

This year’s conference, COP31, comes at a time of economic disruption. People everywhere are worried about the future as rising energy costs, fertilizer shortages and a changing climate strain communities large and small.

For decades, EDF has been tackling tough environmental problems in ways that work for people and the economy. At COP31, we’ll bring that lens to combating climate change.

EDF scientists, economists and policy experts share sharp insights and research that lead to practical solutions. Working with governments, communities and businesses, we’re helping the world address climate change in ways that increase energy and economic security, improve people’s lives and protect nature.
