As COP31 is expected to bring global attention to climate action and sustainability, tourism businesses are facing increasing expectations to demonstrate measurable environmental performance. In this context, Globalis has positioned itself as a key advisory partner for the tourism sector in the lead-up to COP31.
According to Celal Uysal, COP31 represents a strategic milestone not only for governments, but also for tourism destinations and hospitality businesses.
“COP31 is a turning point. Tourism enterprises will be evaluated not only by their service quality, but also by their environmental responsibility, transparency, and climate commitments.”
🌱 COP31-Focused Advisory by Globalis
Globalis supports tourism stakeholders in preparing for COP31 through:
•COP31 readiness assessments for tourism businesses and destinations
•Climate action roadmaps aligned with international frameworks
•Carbon footprint calculations and reduction strategies
•Sustainability reporting and disclosure preparation
•Stakeholder communication and sustainability positioning
From Compliance to Competitive Advantage
Globalis underlines that COP31 preparation should not be viewed solely as a compliance exercise, but as an opportunity to enhance brand credibility and international visibility.
“Businesses that act early and strategically will gain a strong advantage in global tourism markets shaped by sustainability expectations,” said Uysal.
With its integrated consultancy model, Globalis aims to help the tourism industry transition from regulatory compliance to long-term sustainable value creation in the COP31 era.
Since COP29, we have been supporting young activists in Türkiye to participate in COP conferences,
standing alongside them so they can make their voices heard on international platforms addressing the
climate crisis and sustainability. We support young climate activists’ participation in climate
negotiations by providing travel, accommodation, and project-related support.
In parallel with this work, we are also building a global youth climate network by actively using
platforms such as YouTube and LinkedIn. Through this digital engagement, we aim to amplify young
activists’ voices beyond the COP spaces, foster cross-regional dialogue, share experiences and
knowledge, and strengthen long-term international collaboration among youth working on climate
justice and sustainability.
This year, within the scope of COP31, we are running a special campaign for young activists living in
disadvantaged countries that are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis.
Within this campaign, the travel and accommodation expenses of one young climate activist living in
Sudan, Ethiopia, Niger, or South Sudan in Africa; Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka in South
Asia; the Maldives, Tuvalu, or the Marshall Islands among Small Island Developing States; or Haiti,
Honduras, Guatemala, or Peru in Latin America and the Caribbean will be covered to enable their
participation in COP31.
Applicants are expected to be between 18 and 30 years old, reside in the country they are applying
from, have been actively engaged in climate, environmental, or justice work for at least one year,
clearly state their purpose for participating in COP31 and the negotiation areas they wish to follow,
commit to sharing their learnings with their communities upon return, declare a genuine financial
need for support, and have sufficient English proficiency to follow and actively engage in the COP
process.
By combining on-the-ground participation at COP31 with sustained digital engagement through
YouTube and LinkedIn, this campaign aims not only to enable attendance but also to ensure that the
voices of young people most affected by the climate crisis are directly represented in climate
negotiations and meaningfully connected to a growing global network of youth climate advocate
