The 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31 ) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC ) takes place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026.
COP is the UN’s main annual forum for international climate negotiations, bringing together Parties to the UNFCCC, observer organisations and other stakeholders to advance international action on climate change. Discussions cover key areas including climate mitigation, adaptation, climate finance and the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
As EFPA has been admitted as a non-governmental organisation with observer status under the UNFCCC, an EFPA delegation will participate in COP31.
Through its participation, EFPA wants to highlight the contribution of psychological science to climate action and the importance of addressing the human and behavioural dimensions of climate change, including mental health and wellbeing, sustainable behaviour, adaptation and resilience.
EFPA’s engagement at COP31 is in line with its Policy Asks on Climate Change: Insights from Psychological Science, which call for psychological science to be integrated into climate-related policymaking and decision-making.
