Culture's moment on the world stage.
Culture at COP31 is the civil-society platform coordinating the global culture, arts and heritage sector's participation at COP31 in Antalya. More than 250 organisations across six continents, one platform.
Five years transformed culture from a peripheral topic into an emerging pillar of global climate action.
The Climate Heritage Network establishes a global coalition connecting cultural institutions with climate action.
Culture begins entering international climate discussions through coordinated advocacy and partnerships.
Cultural heritage gains broader recognition within discussions on resilience and climate adaptation.
The Global Goal on Adaptation formally recognises cultural heritage through Target 9(g).
Culture enters the COP Action Agenda and gets its first Culture Day; five indicators adopted into the Global Goal on Adaptation; AG19, the PAS, the Belém Indicators and GFCBCA turn that recognition into delivery mechanisms.
Antalya becomes the first opportunity to translate these achievements into coordinated international implementation.
