Care Pavilion to bring dialogue, culture, and collective action on care to Antalya
Taking place 13–15 November 2026, the Pavilion will connect global and local perspectives to advance care, strengthen climate resilience and build more caring, equitable, and sustainable societies.
The Global Alliance for Care, together with AÇEV, will host the Care Pavilion in Antalya, Türkiye, from 13 to 15 November 2026. The Pavilion will bring together organizations, policymakers, researchers, care workers, communities, and other actors to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration and mobilize collective action to place care at the center of policy and development agendas.
Designed as an open, inclusive, and adaptable space, the Care Pavilion aims to establish a recurring space for dialogue, collaboration and action on care at international gatherings and their host communities. It connects global policy discussions with national and local experiences, bringing evidence, lived experience, culture, and public engagement into a shared space.
Its program will combine policy dialogue, workshops, knowledge exchange, artistic and cultural expression and opportunities for collective reflection. Through these activities, the Pavilion will highlight transformative and feminist approaches to care, inform policy discussions, and encourage decision-makers to take concrete action.
Advancing care and climate action
The Antalya Care Pavilion edition will explore how care contributes to climate resilience, adaptation and a just transition. Climate change can increase care and support needs while disrupting the services, infrastructure, livelihoods and social protection systems on which people depend. These impacts are unequal and can deepen existing gender and socioeconomic inequalities.
Strengthening care systems and policies can help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from climate-related shocks. The Pavilion will connect these discussions with public services, decent work, social protection, financing and community responses, encouraging more integrated policies and collaboration across sectors.
Particular attention will be given to the experiences, knowledge and leadership of women and girls, care workers, families, and communities, alongside the perspectives of children, older persons, persons with disabilities and others with care and support needs.
An initiative built collectively
Launched by the Global Alliance for Care in 2025, the Care Pavilion is shaped collectively through the contributions of Alliance members, local actors and collaborating partners. Each edition responds to its context while maintaining a shared identity and a commitment to advancing the care agenda across international spaces.
The Antalya edition is co-organized by the Global Alliance for Care and AÇEV. AÇEV’s experience and networks in Türkiye will help connect the initiative with local organizations, knowledge, and perspectives.
The full program, venue and participation details will be announced soon.
