The League of Arab States and the Global Carbon Council will jointly host the Arab Climate Pavilion at COP31 in Antalya, Turkiye, from November 9 to 20, 2026. The pavilion is designed to bring together governments, businesses, and climate practitioners for regional and international engagement on climate implementation. The partnership builds on a 2025 memorandum of understanding between LAS and the Gulf Organisation for Research and Development. That agreement covers Article 6 capacity building, carbon markets, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. The pavilion will give these topics a visible platform at the global climate conference. For carbon market participants, the collaboration signals a stronger Arab presence in climate negotiations and could create new channels for project development and knowledge exchange. The focus on implementation, rather than just ambition, is worth watching as COP31 approaches.
