Day 4 at the Zero Waste Hub brought the focus to one of the defining moments on the global climate agenda: the Road to COP31 Antalya.🍀
The day began with an interactive breakfast session exploring what COP31 means for the private sector, highlighting the importance of active engagement, climate governance, transition planning and the opportunities for businesses to contribute to meaningful climate action. The discussion made one thing clear: preparing for COP31 starts long before delegates arrive in Antalya, it begins with the decisions organisations make today.
In the afternoon, the conversation turned to another vital enabler of climate action: philanthropy. Bringing together leaders from foundations, civil society and international organisations, the panel explored how philanthropic investment and cross-sector partnerships can strengthen climate resilience, empower local initiatives and accelerate impact ahead of COP31.
Across both sessions, a common message emerged: delivering climate action at scale requires more than ambition. It demands collaboration, strategic investment and a shared commitment from governments, businesses, civil society and philanthropy alike.
The journey to COP31 is already underway, and the partnerships being built today will help define tomorrow’s climate solutions.
