Written by GICFA · COP31 · Antalya, Türkiye · 2026

Participants gathered for a group photograph at the Istanbul Climate Finance Summit, September 2026.

COP31 is the strategicinflection point.

The trajectory of Islamic climate finance has been building deliberately and purposefully across successive COP cycles.

GICFA aims to use COP31 as the platform for its formal global launch — establishing itself as the permanently recognised coordination mechanism for Islamic climate finance, with the institutional endorsements, partnerships, and commitments necessary to operate at scale.

COP31 is not simply another conference. It is the moment Islamic climate finance moves from aspiration to architecture.
