On 18 November 2026, the German Committee for Disaster Reduction (DKKV), together with the Earth Resilience Institute (ERI), will host the side event “From Sta. Marta to Tuvalu: Resilient implementation through collaboration, knowledge and science” at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye. The event brings together policymakers, legal scholars and scientists to explore how commitments to transition away from fossil fuels can be translated into effective and resilient implementation.
Building on the first Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, the discussion will look ahead to the second conference, hosted by Tuvalu and Ireland in 2027. Participants will examine the political, legal and scientific conditions that enable implementation, as well as the barriers that can hinder progress across different regions and contexts.
The event features two panels focusing on policy and regional perspectives as well as science, law and knowledge cooperation. Through the Earth Resilience Institute’s participatory systems-mapping approach, the contributions will be brought together into a shared picture of the opportunities and challenges for resilient implementation.
The side event offers an opportunity to connect expertise across regions and disciplines, strengthen collaboration and identify pathways towards putting climate transition commitments into practice.
The event will take place from 13:15 to 14:45 in Side Event Room 1 – Gordiyon in Antalya. It is open to all COP31 badge holders.
