Strategic Dialogue Towards COP31

Şafak Müderrisgil, Chair of EYDK and Trustee of GSG Impact, convened with Samed Ağırbaş, President of the Zero Waste Foundation and COP31 High-Level Champion, for a strategic consultation on the evolving priorities of COP31.

As Türkiye prepares to host COP31, discussions focused on aligning global climate ambitions with actionable national pathways. EYDK and GSG Impact’s institutional experience from previous COP processes was shared, highlighting mechanisms that translate climate commitments into investment-ready opportunities.

The dialogue explored policy frameworks capable of generating measurable impact, strengthening climate action, advancing sustainable development, and fostering impact-driven partnerships across sectors.

At EYDK, we regard multi-stakeholder engagement as fundamental to climate-focused transformation and position impact investing as a strategic lever to mobilize private capital at scale.
