COP31 Antalya 2026 – Who Pays for the Green Transition ? Climate Finance and Trade in Focus on 13 November – Be an Example – Environmental Protection
On Friday, 13 November 2026, COP31 turns to Finance and Trade – the question that sits beneath every green transition: who pays for it, and how. Access to climate finance is one of the four main priorities of the Antalya edition.
The day gathers conversations on finance mechanisms for the circular economy, investment and credit lines for green projects, the part played by philanthropy and the private sector, and the links between trade, industry and climate goals. The full hour-by-hour agenda for the day is set out below.
