Ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), scheduled to take place in Antalya, a working meeting was held at the KTMMOB Chamber of Architects to evaluate the Chamber's preparations and ongoing initiatives for the international event.

Under the coordination of Chamber President Onur Olguner, a working group consisting of former Chamber Presidents Azmi Öge and Doğan Sahir, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Polat Hançer, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ercan Hoşkara, Asst. Prof. Dr. Öznem Şahali, Dr. İpek Yaralıoğlu, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Doğa Üzümcüoğlu continues its efforts to ensure that Turkish Cypriot architects have a voice and are represented on this important international platform.

As one of the world's most significant international gatherings addressing the climate crisis, greenhouse gas emission reductions, and the transition towards a sustainable future, COP31 also holds particular relevance for architecture and the construction industry.

The KTMMOB Chamber of Architects remains committed to bringing the knowledge, expertise, and professional experience of Turkish Cypriot architects to this global platform. Through its ongoing initiatives, the Chamber aims to contribute to international discussions and share professional perspectives on sustainable construction, climate-responsive urban development, and the role of architecture in addressing the challenges of climate change.
