Government welcomes Official Partners for COP31 Pavilion

This year’s COP31 UK Pavilion Official Partners represent some of the UK’s leading clean energy and digital technology businesses.   

National Grid and SSE have been official UK Pavilion partners every year since COP26 in Glasgow, while Octopus Energy has sponsored the Pavilion since COP28.  

The UK government has also welcomed Kraken Technologies as a new partner to the COP31 portfolio.  

All 4 partners met with Katie White, the Minister for Climate Transition, on Thursday 15 October to discuss how government and business can work together to accelerate the clean energy transition and deliver practical action at COP31. 

Sponsorship reduces the cost of the Pavilion to the taxpayer and gives partners an opportunity to demonstrate to COP delegates how UK expertise, investment and innovation can deliver the energy transition. 

Throughout COP31, the UK Pavilion will host panel discussions, roundtables and receptions showcasing British climate leadership, bringing together governments, businesses and civil society to turn ambition into practical action.  

COP31 takes place from 9 to 20 November 2026 in Antalya, Türkiye, and the UK Pavilion will be open for the duration of the conference.
