Information on UNFCCC and Climate ChangeTop
The Climate Change Kiosk. Located in Espace Menara on the ground floor, the Climate Change Kiosk's
primary goal is to provide information about climate change and the secretariat. It is a resource for
anyone interested in:
Information on climate change information sources;
Background information on the climate change process and the secretariat;
Who's doing what in the process;
Who's doing what in the secretariat;
How to contact members of the secretariat;
How to obtain access to or copies of secretariat information products or services.
The Climate Change Kiosk includes display panels as well as a computer with an Internet connection
which will be used in providing assistance on how to:
Find relevant climate change information using the UNFCCC library online;
Effectively search and retrieve climate change related information from the web;
Evaluate the quality of web-based information;
Locate other sources of climate change information.
A special feature of the Climate Change Kiosk is a small area where participants can submit a video,
document or CD-ROM, which they would like to exhibit. The Climate Change Kiosk is equipped with a
documents stand (for displaying only one copy of your document), a video player, a TV and a PC with a
21" monitor. Staff at the Climate Change Kiosk will gladly show your video or include your
document in the document display.
Access to the conference venue is restricted to registered participants of the meetings. In order to
help enforce the high security standards of the secretariat, participants are expected to wear their
badges as soon as they are issued. They must be worn at all times and in all areas for the duration of
the conference. Badges are issued only on the basis of a letter of nomination from Parties, Observer
States or accredited Observer organizations. Lost badges must be reported to the Registration Desk
immediately.
