Press badges issued at previous UNFCCC conferences do not remain valid. Members of the press must be

Badges are essential in order for participants to gain access to the premises. They are issued only on
the basis of accreditation as a media professional representing a bona fide media organization.
For security reasons, all participants are requested to wear their badges at all times.

The UNFCCC secretariat is not in a position to issue invitation letters for visa purposes. Accredited
media may use their confirmation message when making their application, as well as the letter of
assignment from their media organization.
Hotels
Participants are responsible for making their own accommodation arrangements.
