COP 31 Antalya
(92 Speakers — Strategic Briefing | Moments of Influence Calendar | 9–20 November 2026)
The Transition to the Era of Implementation
From 9–20 November 2026, the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 31) will convene in Antalya, Türkiye. This summit marks a definitive pivot in the global climate narrative: moving from the "pledge-making" of the past decade to the clinical execution of the Paris Agreement. With Türkiye assuming the Presidency and Australia leading negotiations in a unique partnership, COP 31 is the primary theatre for the "implementation roadmap," focusing on post-2020 finance, fossil fuel transitions, and the deployment of Smart City infrastructure.
At 92 Speakers, we provide the functional authority required to translate high-level climate diplomacy into a strategic roadmap for corporate resilience. We connect you with the practitioners and visionaries who understand that in 2026, sustainability is not an elective; it is a mechanical necessity for institutional survival.

The COP 31 Mandate: From Ambition to Action
The 2026 Antalya summit offers a high-impact window for leadership accountability. When these experts are delivering keynotes, they equip your teams with the frameworks to master the next era of global sustainability:
Smart City Architecture: Leveraging Charlie Luxton and Håkan Nordkvist to understand how your physical and digital assets must integrate into the intelligent, net-zero urban grids of the future.
Circular Implementation: Transitioning from linear waste to circular value cycles, using the IKEA blueprint to eliminate inefficiencies at scale.
Governance Credibility: Using Ana Adi’s trust frameworks to ensure your ESG reporting is resilient to both regulatory audit and public scrutiny in a high-transparency environment.
In 2026, the most resilient organisations are those that treat climate implementation as a core business function, where the transition to net-zero and the adoption of Smart City technology are viewed as the ultimate drivers of long-term commercial efficiency.
