Returning to COP for a 6th year as a key platform for cross-sector collaboration, The Innovation Zone gives the real economy its own venue at COP31. Bringing together 2,000 global stakeholders committed to climate action and the delivery of the Global Action Agenda and run independently of the COP31 Blue and Green Zones, it is a premium, dynamic space dedicated to driving implementation at scale.
At COP31 in Türkiye, the Sustainable Innovation Forum will engage corporate leaders and investors and connect them with the policymakers and subnational leaders who shape the conditions for delivery on the ground.
Taking place in the Climate Action Innovation Zone, the Forum opens the arc of high-level engagement at COP31, ahead of the COP Presidency’s World Leaders Summit and COP31 Business Summit. Its programme is structured around the six thematic axes of the Global Climate Action Agenda, within which the COP31 Presidency’s 10 Priority Themes sit and is designed to showcase success, facilitate collaboration and accelerate delivery pathways.
Sessions will demonstrate proof of progress, projects underway, capital deployed, measurable results – and identify where expertise, technology, investment and operational capacity are needed to scale implementation. The mainstage plenary will be complemented by track stages and deep dive roundtables, creating space for every mode of engagement. From headline interviews and high-level panels to focused, practitioner-led discussions where partnerships take shape.
