Planetir · Pop-Up Village · COP31 Antalya

Build Planetir's Pop-Up Village around COP31.

Planetir is bringing together climate entrepreneurs, practitioners, and community builders for a 2–3 week gathering in Antalya, Turkey — starting the day COP31 closes. We're looking for someone to help make it happen.

What this is

What this is.

Planetir is a community platform where people connect, learn, and act together on what matters. This Pop-Up Village is one expression of that — a place-based gathering where the global climate community can slow down after COP31, collaborate across organisations, and work on real challenges together. The Entrepreneur in Residence is the person who takes ownership of making that happen.

This is not a coordinator role. You define the shape of the initiative, build a small team around you, and carry it through — with the Planetir community, its network, and the three initiators (Mehemed, Cassia, and Niels) genuinely alongside you.

You'll work alongside founders, policymakers, climate organisations, and the Youth Climate Leaders network. You'll have a real budget, real partners, and a real stage in Antalya, Turkey.

If you've built things from scratch before — this is that same spirit, with a community and ecosystem already behind you.

Why now

The Pop-Up Village starts November 21. The work starts now.

November 21st is a real date in the calendar. Between now and then, the program gets shaped, the team comes together, and people get the chance to plan for it. This is an invitation to start now — with a clear direction and the support to build something worth showing up for.

Nov–Dec 2026

Run the Pop-Up Village

Two to three weeks post-COP in Antalya — community gathering, climate collaboration, real impact.

The role

Real ownership of something that matters.

You set direction, build a small team, and carry the outcome. Planetir and its ecosystem stand behind you — the relationships, the platform, and the community are yours to draw on. So is the credit for what you build.

  • Shape and lead the COP31 Pop-Up Village, from early concept through to the event itself.
  • Build a small operating team and bring in contributors as you go.
  • Build relationships with climate organisations, community networks, and potential partners.
  • Tell the story of the initiative — with honesty and authenticity, not PR gloss.
  • Keep things moving with clarity: budgets, milestones, honest check-ins with the team.
  • Draw on Planetir's community, tools, and COP relationships as a foundation — not a crutch.
