Post COP1 Ocean Debrief
An evening to set the scene for AlterCOP 2026 and the coming 2 COPs: what to expect, the focus areas, and how participants, partners, and communities can engage meaningfully in them
Why Nature matters: beyond dollars and data, discover how biodiversity and thriving ecosystems sustain lives, support communities, and protect us from climate change.
This day explores how we redesign our relationship with resources and move from reducing harm to actively restoring ecological and social systems.
Climate adaptation is expected by states and corporations, but practical steps for communities and SMEs are missing. Nature is at risk but offers robust solutions.
The ocean is the engine of all life. This day explores biodiversity conservation through the lens of science, governance, corporate engagement, finance and community action.
A day to introduce the state of climate change, its social impacts and explore multi stakeholder, inclusive approaches for a fair, climate-ready and flourishing society.
Creative capital for ASEAN's climate future. Exploring the full potential of climate finance with alternative data, underutilised funds, and innovative structures.
From project forests to trading floors, voluntary and compliance carbon markets are converging. How can we make them scale without losing the integrity that makes them count?
Cutting through the noise on decarbonisation with expert insights, sector deep-dives & honest conversations to walk away ready to act.
Connecting key energy stakeholders to understand barriers, co-develop solutions, and accelerate deployment of scalable and affordable low-carbon energy systems.
An evening to look back on COP17, COP31 and AlterCOP 2026, understand the key outcomes of all, and explore what’s next on the road to the following COPs
An exclusive evening to debrief the very first COP Ocean hosted in January, and what it means for ocean biodiversity & conservation in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Art @ AlterCOP
Youth @ AlterCOP
Inclusivity @ AlterCOP
COP & Countries @ AlterCOP
Human Capital @ AlterCOP
Art helps us make emotional bonds to relate differently to topics at hand, opens our minds to rethink, redesign our systems & organisations and visualise possible futures.
As climate impacts grow, youths will suffer the greatest consequences. How can they take meaningful climate action together, and gain the necessary skills and resources?
Inclusive climate action ensures no one is left behind. Our agenda gives voice to women, indigenous, underprivileged and vulnerable communities to drive fair, effective, and equitable solutions.
Ensuring COP coverage throughout AlterCOP - clarifying countries’ NDC challenges and how the private sector can align, support, and accelerate climate commitments.
Embracing Climate Action at scale requires a change in mindset and an economy ready to onboard the talents needed to drive the change.
