9–20 November 2026, Blue Zone, Antalya, Türkiye
At COP31, the Resilience Hub is going ALL IN on turning climate ambition into implementation. To match the scale of the challenge, we have joined forces to create the ALL IN Pavilion – a shared Blue Zone pavilion that combines rigorous evidence, multilevel leadership and the finance ecosystem into one shared platform focused on climate implementation.
This combination is especially important at this decisive moment. Climate impacts are intensifying while geopolitical instability, fiscal pressure and political fragmentation test international cooperation and constrain delivery. Durable climate action cannot depend on one institution, sector or level of government. It requires evidence that improves decisions, finance that reaches the ground, and leadership that connects communities and cities with businesses, national governments and global institutions.
Join us at COP31 to apply evidence, pressure-test approaches and build partnerships. Together, we will strengthen the plans and financing pathways needed to put climate commitments into practice across mitigation, adaptation and resilience. The work will focus on measurable outcomes for people, economies and nature.
ALL IN on finance that delivers
At COP31, the Resilience Hub will focus on one central implementation question: How can adaptation and resilience priorities secure the finance required for delivery? Following COP30’s call to at least triple adaptation finance by 2035, the programme will examine how finance is mobilised, structured and deployed; who shapes investment decisions; who captures the resulting value; and who bears the costs and risks. The focus will be on finance that reduces climate risk, strengthens adaptive capacity and supports interconnected systems.
Meeting these needs requires a finance mix suited to the purpose and context of each priority. Public, grant-based and concessional finance remains central to public goods, fragile settings and locally led action. Policy, regulation and targeted guarantees can improve investability and mobilise private finance where commercial models are viable. Catalytic, philanthropic, sovereign, private and insurance capital can support priorities suited to their respective risk, return and affordability requirements.
Submissions open now
At COP31, the Hub will help advance three connected streams of work:
From national priorities to financing strategies and investment pipelines
Convene governments, financial institutions and implementers to examine how National Adaptation Plans, adaptation investment plans and related strategies can be costed, prioritised and sequenced into implementable programmes and credible project pipelines. The work will clarify which priorities require public, grant-based or concessional support; where commercial or blended structures may be viable; and which project-preparation, policy and institutional gaps must be addressed.
Capital aligned with purpose and context
Bring public and development finance institutions, philanthropic and private capital providers, insurers and other risk-finance providers together to pressure-test instruments, financing terms and risk allocation against the underlying economics, public value and distributional effects of adaptation priorities. Discussions will address access and affordability, fiscal space and debt sustainability, cost of capital, currency and tenor constraints, and the specific barriers facing fragile and conflict-affected settings.
Evidence, measurement and integrity for resilience outcomes
Examine how the Resilience Science Must-Knows, country-led monitoring, evaluation and learning systems and the voluntary Belém Adaptation Indicators can support decision-useful assessment of risk reduction, adaptive capacity, system-wide effects and distributional outcomes. Discussions will address maladaptation, unintended risk transfer and the limits of attribution and aggregation, including how evidence can inform financing decisions without creating universal benchmarks or new barriers to access. Country context, local expertise and the priorities of climate-vulnerable groups will guide the interpretation and application of evidence.
How the programme will work
The Resilience Science Must-Knows will anchor the programme’s evidence base, while the FINI (Fostering Investable National Implementation) framework will structure its finance-focused work around knowledge, deals and financial leadership. The wider programme will combine public sessions with targeted roundtables, pipeline clinics and exchanges among policymakers, asset owners, financial institutions, implementers and communities.
Across these formats, discussions will address a defined implementation question and serve a clear purpose: interpreting significant developments, pressure-testing an approach, strengthening a financing pipeline, advancing an existing coalition or roadmap, or establishing next steps among participating organisations. Where relevant, insights and follow-up actions will connect with the Hub’s year-round work and partner-led initiatives beyond Antalya.
Help shape the Resilience Hub programme
The COP31 programme will be curated around the three streams of work above. We are inviting targeted contributions where external expertise can add the greatest value: interpreting developments during COP31, establishing an ambitious opening frame for the adaptation and resilience agenda, and bringing relevant knowledge and experience into individual sessions.
There are three ways to contribute:
There are three ways to contribute:
COP31 interviews and anchoring reflections
We are seeking experienced hosts to lead concise, interview-style discussions that interpret negotiations and other significant developments as they unfold during COP31. These short, focused segments should move beyond formal readouts to explain what has changed, what it means for adaptation and resilience, which issues remain unresolved and what stakeholders should watch next.
Out-of-the-Box opening on adaptation and resilience
We are inviting our resilience partners to join forces to co-design and deliver a one- to two-hour Opening segment of the Resilience Hub programme. Proposals should combine substantive expertise with a strong participatory, out-of-the box format. Diverse voices and creative or artistic approaches are encouraged where they deepen understanding and strengthen engagement.
Speaker and contributor recommendations
We are building a diverse pool of experts, practitioners and community leaders who may be invited to contribute across the COP31 programme. If you will be attending COP31 and would like to be considered – or would like to recommend someone whose expertise, implementation experience or lived experience should inform the programme – please submit their details through the speaker form.
