Disclaimer
The UNFCCC secretariat has become aware that certain admitted observer organizations are using
commercial business model packages to solicit business. As an inducement to sell these packages,
potential clients are assured participation at UNFCCC conferences, sessions and meetings through
quotas of admitted observer organizations. The UNFCCC secretariat would like to make clear that
it does not endorse such practices nor does it charge any fees to anyone for participating in the
UNFCCC process. Eligible participants are accredited only by the UNFCCC secretariat who upon
issue of badges by the UNFCCC secretariat can enter conference, sessions and meetings venue and
participate, subject to the relevant rules and regulations, in the activities organized by the
UNFCCC secretariat including the UNFCCC side events and exhibits and UNFCCC Climate Change Studio.
