AlterCOP 30

  • Free
  • Talk

In 2024, AlterCOP 29 in Singapore brought together over 2,300 participants and 250 speakers across 130 sessions, proving that meaningful, high-impact climate engagement can happen outside traditional structures – and thrive. This year, the AlterCOP Global Core Team is delighted to be working with People For Nature to bring AlterCOP's vision to Australia to empower local sustainability actions and partnerships.​

As Australia prepares to potentially host COP31, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to open up climate dialogue to all and show that local actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change are already happening across different communities.

Running alongside the United Nations (UN) COP30 agenda, the four-day event will foster grassroots ownership of global climate goals while amplifying local and regional engagement across Australia.
