What is AlterCOP?
AlterCOP Summit and Regional Events aim to keep corporate and the public informed of COP proceedings and outcomes, facilitate discourse and knowledge learning on corporate sustainability in a localised context, foster collaboration among various actors (professionals, academics, youth, NPOs, community groups, and policymakers) and inspire action.
After a successful AlterCOP 29 in 2024, AlterCOP is returning to cover
COP 30-Belém in November 2025.

Our movement is apolitical & independent from governments or corporates’ influence. We offer a neutral, safe, yet respectful space for all to voice their opinion and ideas.
