From 9 to 20 November 2026, Antalya will host the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31). One of the year’s major international events, the conference will bring together representatives from nearly 200 countries, heads of state, ministers, scientists, international organisations and leading global companies.

Antalya – A Centre for International Dialogue

The conference will take place at the ANFAŞ Antalya Expo Center. Tens of thousands of delegates and visitors from around the world are expected to attend.

The main objective of COP31 is to unite countries in their efforts to combat climate change and discuss the transition to clean energy, the reduction of carbon emissions, the protection of marine ecosystems and the development of sustainable cities.

Particular attention will be given to environmentally friendly construction, renewable energy, the responsible use of water resources and environmental protection.

What Does This Mean for Turkey and the Antalya Region?

Hosting COP31 is an important milestone for Turkey’s international profile. Antalya will receive increased attention from the global community, the business sector, investors and the tourism industry.

Preparations for the event also highlight the strategic importance of the region and its potential for further development in infrastructure, international cooperation and environmentally focused projects.

This topic is particularly relevant to the real estate market. Around the world, energy-efficient buildings, modern engineering solutions, environmentally friendly construction materials, landscaped areas and high-quality living environments are becoming increasingly important.

Kemer and the Mediterranean Coast: Living in Harmony with Nature

Kemer and its surrounding areas continue to attract international property buyers thanks to their unique combination of the Mediterranean Sea, the Taurus Mountains, pine forests and well-developed tourism infrastructure.

Today, the appeal of a property is determined not only by its location and architecture, but also by the quality of its surroundings, living comfort and opportunities for a healthy lifestyle.

COP31 provides another opportunity to highlight the sustainable development of the Mediterranean region and its long-term potential.

Second Home Turkey closely follows important developments in Antalya and the Kemer region that influence tourism, infrastructure and the real estate market.

As Antalya takes its place on the international climate agenda, the region gains a new opportunity to present itself to the world as an attractive destination for living, holidays and investment.
