FAO at COP31
Antalya (Türkiye), 09/11/2026 - 20/11/2026
The 2026 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), hosted by Türkiye in Antalya, will take place from 9 to 20 November. The Conference is a defining moment in global efforts to tackle climate change and ensure food security for present and future generations.
For FAO, COP31 provides a key platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing and decision-making on the critical role of agriculture and food systems in climate action. Agrifood systems solutions are climate solutions. As a central pillar of climate action, they help build resilience, support adaptation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while safeguarding biodiversity and ensuring food security for all.
