COP31, organized under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, will be held in Antalya, Turkey, from November 9-20, 2026. The summit, which addresses topics such as combating climate change, green transformation, sustainable production, and climate-resilient health systems at an international level, brings together public institutions, the private sector, the scientific community, and civil society organizations.
As OSTİM Medical Industry Cluster, we conducted various visits and meetings in Antalya within the scope of COP31.
Within the framework of the program, we met with our stakeholders in the OSTİM ecosystem, visited the OSTİM Technopark stand and received information about their work in the field of technology and innovation. We also visited the stand of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey and examined the Ministry's work in the fields of climate and health.
We followed the sessions on health, production, sustainability, and green transformation held within the scope of the summit. In particular, the effects of climate change on health systems, the resilience of health infrastructure, and green transformation in industry were among the prominent issues for our medical sector.
Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is a transformative process that directly affects many areas, from production models and supply chains to healthcare and health technologies. In this context, COP31 is an important international meeting for the joint consideration of the healthcare industry and the sustainable production agenda.
As the OSTİM Medical Industry Cluster, we consider it important to follow this agenda, which closely concerns our sector, to maintain our contacts with our stakeholders in the OSTİM ecosystem, and to contribute to the development of the domestic medical industry.
