The Next Urban Evolution: Why Materials Matter

September 23, 2026

What if one of the most consequential climate decisions in built environment is also one of the least visible?
The next generation of cities will be defined not only by energy systems and digital technology, but by the materials that enable lasting infrastructure, circular buildings and resilient mobility systems. The choices made today shape cost, resource dependency and carbon for decades to come.

Join industry leaders and innovators to explore how circular, low-emission materials are shaping the next generation of our environment — from infrastructure and mobility to architecture and even space.

November 9–20, 2026, Antalya, Türkiye

COP31 is the UN Climate Change Conference, the world’s most important annual forum for climate policy. It brings together governments, business and civil society, and serves as the primary platform for negotiating and advancing collective action to combat climate change. This year’s Action Agenda covers ten priority themes, including climate-resilient cities and buildings, and green industrialization.

At COP31, we demonstrate how heavy industry can be a catalyst for change, driven by new technologies and materials. We advocate for keeping the course in ambitious climate policy and emphasize the importance of pricing carbon globally while incentivizing lead markets for sustainable materials.

Outokumpu joins the Finland Pavilion, bringing the perspective of a heavy industry already decarbonizing at scale.

Full program to be confirmed.
