Seyit Taha Baydar, a Lecturer in the Department of Ceramics and Glass at the Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMU) Faculty of Fine Arts and a glass artist, is showcasing his works on an international stage as part of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31) in Antalya.

During the conference, which addresses climate change, environmental sustainability, and the green transition, Baydar’s glass works are being presented to visitors at the Türkiye Pavilion, organized under the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change.

Artistic contribution to COP31 through glass art

On display from 9 to 20 November 2026, the works contribute to addressing climate change and sustainability not only through scientific research and policy discussions but also through artistic expression.

Bringing together scientists, public institutions, environmental representatives, and participants from a wide range of disciplines and countries, COP31 also draws attention to the relationship between art, environmental issues, and society through artistic works presented at the Türkiye Pavilion.

The participation of OMU Faculty of Fine Arts Lecturer Seyit Taha Baydar with his glass works at the conference also contributes to the international visibility of the University’s artistic production alongside its scientific research.
