Over 10,000 people from 104 countries have applied to join the COP31 Türkiye Volunteer Program, under which 5,000 volunteers will support the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), to be hosted by Türkiye in Antalya on Nov. 9-20.
According to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change information, selected volunteers will work not only at the summit venue but also across Antalya and other parts of Türkiye to promote environmental awareness and climate action.
The program aims to include 1,500 international volunteers within its 5,000-member network.
Launched in line with COP31 President and Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum's vision of placing young people at the center of the conference, the initiative seeks to strengthen youth participation in the global climate summit.
Applications have been received from 104 countries, and the application window will remain open until August. Those wishing to volunteer can apply through the program's official website.
