ALER at COP31 in Antalya
ALER will be present at COP31, taking place from 9th to 20th November 2026 in Antalya (Turkey), promoting its own programme of events, participating in partner-led initiatives and facilitating networking opportunities. In addition, ALER is making available the digital platform alernacop.com, created to monitor and enhance the visibility of the participation of Portuguese-speaking countries throughout the conference.
Among ALER’s own events, particular emphasis will be placed on the session dedicated to the future Alliance for Transport and Sustainable Fuels in CPLP Countries, which will take place on 10th November at the Angola Pavilion. The initiative aims to foster cooperation among governments, regulators, companies, development partners and international institutions in the fields of electric mobility, biofuels and renewable gases. The Alliance is structured around two working groups focusing on Sustainable Fuels and Electric Mobility, with the objective of developing knowledge, promoting capacity building, supporting pilot projects and identifying financing opportunities.
Also on 10th November, Pedro Clemente, ALER’s Operations Director, will participate as a speaker in the event “Powering Africa: Bridging Regional Realities with the 35% by 2035 Electrification Goal”, organized by Portugal’s Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG) and dedicated to the challenges of electrification and the energy transition across the African continent.
On 12th November, ALER will host a closed-door roundtable dedicated to the future Alliance for Transport and Sustainable Fuels, bringing together government representatives from Portuguese-speaking countries, cooperation partners and private-sector stakeholders to gather input on the structure, priorities and areas of intervention of the initiative. The meeting will also seek to mobilise entities interested in joining the Alliance’s founding members group, whose official launch will take place at a later stage.
On 13th November, at the Portugal Pavilion, a roundtable will be held on the 2030 Cooperation Roadmap on Energy and Climate in CPLP Countries, launched at COP30. The session will seek to identify concrete opportunities for cooperation between CPLP Member States, financial institutions, development partners and other relevant stakeholders, helping to transform shared priorities into regional initiatives and projects.
Also on the same day, ALER will promote, at the Angola Pavilion, the international launch of REN Angola 2027 – 1st Renewable Energy Business Forum in Angola. Inspired by the success of RENMOZ in Mozambique, the event will highlight opportunities linked to productive self-consumption in sectors such as industry, agriculture, mining, tourism and digital technologies, reinforcing Angola’s positioning as a strategic market for renewable energy development and private investment mobilization.
To support participation in the conference and enhance the visibility of Lusophone engagement, ALER has also launched the digital platform alernacop.com, which brings together daily highlights from the conference, the agendas of Portuguese-speaking countries, events promoted by ALER and by the partners of the Thematic Committee on Energy and Climate of CPLP Consultative Observers (CTEC), daily summaries, Portuguese-language documents and other relevant information to support a more informed and coordinated participation in COP31.
Through this participation, ALER aims to strengthen cooperation among Portuguese-speaking countries, promote dialogue between energy, climate and finance stakeholders, and create opportunities to transform common energy and climate priorities into concrete projects and effective regional cooperation mechanisms, while contributing to elevating the agenda of Portuguese-speaking countries on the international stage.
