Case Study

COP29 Baku
1,200 m² Pavilion

November 2024 — Evreka Stand's four pavilions delivered at COP29 Baku, totaling more than 1,200 m² of exhibition area. Process, decisions, lessons.

Overview

The UN Climate Change Conference COP29 was held November 11–22, 2024 around Baku Olympic Stadium. Evreka Stand designed, produced, and on-site installed four pavilions for distinct stakeholders, totaling more than 1,200 m²: Youth House, Sea Breeze, Silk Way West Airlines, and Azersun. We also acted as operational partner on the TotalEnergies pavilion.

This case is direct operational reference for COP31 Antalya 2026 — hosted by Türkiye. It demonstrates hands-on familiarity with COP technical guidelines (UNFCCC accreditation, recyclable-material mandates, carbon footprint measurement, area allocation process).

Process

Brief & accreditation (12+ weeks out): Each stakeholder's communication goal (policy, brand, launch) captured in separate briefs. UNFCCC Blue Zone allocation requests and technical approvals run in parallel.

3D design & revision (6–8 weeks out): Four pavilions designed as distinct concepts; shared thread is compliance with UNFCCC sustainability requirements. Recyclable aluminum profiles, FSC-certified wood, low-VOC paint specified.

Production & logistics (2–4 weeks out): Modular components produced; Baku shipping + customs coordinated. Local crew positioned on-site for simultaneous installation.

On-site build (4 days): Four pavilions installed simultaneously ahead of opening. Full compliance with venue electrical/rigging codes and UNFCCC security protocols.

Dismantle & storage: Significant portion of modular components stored recyclably for future events — zero-waste goal.

Takeaways & COP31 Implications

→Direct experience with UNFCCC accreditation and technical approval processes
→Operating supplier network for sustainable material chain (recycling, FSC, low-VOC)
→Simultaneous multi-pavilion build operational capacity
→Concept adaptability across policy/brand/launch communication goals
→Baku ↔ Istanbul logistics experience; Antalya local production further reduces COP31 risk
→Diplomatic accreditation and protocol awareness

COP31 Antalya 2026 pavilion preparations have begun. We combine the 1,200 m² of operational experience delivered in Baku with Türkiye-local production to provide turnkey solutions for participating countries, institutions, and companies. COP31 Antalya page →
