Help CEF Bring COP31 to You

By Charles Gregoire

Climate Emergency Forum (CEF) is preparing to attend COP31, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, taking place in Antalya, Türkiye, from November 9–20, 2026. Herb, Paul, Regina, Charles and Heidi are planning to participate, and we’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to help make our team’s attendance possible. donate

Our goal is to bring the discussions at COP31 to a wider audience through thoughtful conversations, press conferences and video coverage on our YouTube channel. We want to help people understand what is happening at the conference, what is at stake, and how the ideas and commitments discussed there measure up to the urgency of the climate emergency.

What We Hope to Accomplish

COP31 brings together governments, civil society and other participants from around the world to advance international cooperation on climate change. For CEF, it offers an opportunity to engage directly with people working on the climate crisis and share their perspectives with viewers who cannot attend in person. donate

During our time at the conference, we hope to:

• Hold press conferences and publish recordings on the Climate Emergency Forum YouTube channel.
• Interview people we meet who agree to share their knowledge, experiences and perspectives on camera.
• Explore the connections between climate science, policy and action through accessible, substantive discussions.
• Build relationships that can lead to further conversations and collaboration beyond the conference.

We hope to hear a range of perspectives, ask meaningful questions, and help our audience look beyond the headlines. Our focus will be on what participants believe needs to happen—and what it will take to turn commitments into effective action.

Help Make Our Participation Possible

We have launched a GoFundMe campaign to support Climate Emergency Forum’s participation at COP31. Your contribution will help us bring these conversations to our audience and make our planned conference coverage possible.

Donate to help Climate Emergency Forum participate in COP31

If you cannot contribute financially, sharing the campaign with friends, colleagues and your networks is another valuable way to support this effort.

Thank you for helping us bring more voices, informed discussion and a sense of urgency to the public conversation about the climate emergency. We look forward to sharing our COP31 press conferences and interviews with you on the Climate Emergency Forum YouTube channel.
