COP 31
Base Camp
Unlocking climate transformation in Australia and the Pacific: Shaping the potential of COP 31
1 November, 2023 | ICC Sydney
The opportunity
The opportunity for Australia and the Pacific to host a potentially transformative COP 31 is one of great significance. This could accelerate progress for Australia towards net-zero emissions in line with limiting warming to 1.5 degrees and bring much needed climate technology, investment and infrastructure to our Pacific neighbours.

COP 31 collaboration
We invite voices from across diverse sectors to craft a proposed vision for COP 31. One that accelerates global progress towards net-zero emissions and places the restoration of nature and the well-being and justice of all communities front and centre.
Who attends?
Leaders from across charities and local community; Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Pacific communities; climate and environment; business and investment; policy and research are coming together with the objective of supporting a whole-of-society approach to COP 31.
