Apply for a Think Negative session at COP31
The Think Negative coalition — around 150 companies initiated by the Negative Emissions Platform — hosts a limited number of programming slots at COP31 in Antalya, 9–20 November 2026. Slots are allocated based on alignment with the selection criteria.
How selection works
Applications are assessed on Advocacy Relevance (reviewed against the advocacy document), the thematic relevance (reviewed against the programming frameworks), the suggested speakers presenting, and any financial contribution pledge. Each application receives a composite score. The programming committee will then review all applications at the deadline.
Open platform
Each slot shows the current highest confirmed score — never who is behind it. You can revise your application at any time before the deadline to improve your position.
Two application rounds
Slots are released in two rounds. Round 1 closes 31 August 2026 and those slots are allocated and announced shortly afterwards. The remaining slots open in Round 2, closing 30 September 2026. Both rounds span the whole pavilion programme, so every track, every time of day and every premium day is available in each round.
