    Explore the Programme

    The World Green Economy Organization’s pavilion at COP31 will bring together governments, international organizations, the private sector, financial institutions, academia and civil society to advance climate action through inclusive green economy approaches.

    Developed in collaboration with participating governments, businesses and partner institutions, the pavilion programme will provide a platform to exchange policy perspectives, share expertise and practical solutions, and explore cooperation across countries and sectors.

    Our Engagement

    Climate and green economy implementation requires cooperation across institutions, sectors and regions. WGEO’s participation at COP31 will connect public-sector priorities with private-sector innovation, investment and delivery capabilities.

    The pavilion will provide a setting for stakeholders to examine shared challenges, exchange national and regional experiences, and explore how policy, finance and technology can support implementation.

    Discussions will address areas including clean energy, water security, sustainable cities, circular economy, green industry and climate finance, reflecting the contributions and priorities of participating partners.
