Briefings
Carbon Brief analysis of UNFCCC provisional lists identifies Turkey as the largest COP31 host nation with 2,950 delegates, surpassing Brazil's 1,994. The summit attracts over 95,000 total registrants including 3,335 virtual attendees, making it the largest COP in history. Host country guest numbers at COP31 (14,285) are significantly higher than previous COPs, while party delegates total 18,812. Data remains provisional as final badge-collector figures are not yet available.
Key points
- Turkey registered 2,950 delegates as host country guests, the largest delegation at COP31.
- Total registrants exceed 95,000 including 3,335 virtual attendees, surpassing COP28's 80,000-person attendance.
Context
UNFCCC provisional lists show Turkey's 2,950 host delegates far exceed previous host nations like Brazil (1,994) and Nigeria (1,506). The summit's 92,934 total participants make it the largest COP in history, with party delegates reaching 18,812.
Limitations
Provisional figures exclude final badge-collector data; Turkey's 2,950 delegates represent only host country guests, not all parties. Final UNFCCC counts will be released after the summit concludes.
