Track the status of your accreditation
The UNFCCC secretariat is launching an accreditation tracking system that will help media
representatives obtain information about the status of their accreditation, while also assisting them
through the process. When you submit the online form, you will receive a special code that can be used
to check the status of your application. E-mail updates will be sent as materials are received or to
remind media persons about outstanding information. Applicants will be advised of the status of their
accreditation.
We hope that this new tool will prove useful in keeping you informed about your accreditation. Comments
and feedback are welcomed.
