Parties to the
Convention, United Nations and related
organizations and agencies, media and non-profit observer organizations
with observer status may attend the sessions of the Convention, in accordance with Article 7,
paragraph 6 of the Convention. Consequently, all participants wishing to attend the conference have
to be registered accordingly.
Other organizations, companies and general public:
- Only Parties and organizations with observer status can register to enter the Bula Zone.
More information on options for participation is available here.
- For the Bonn Zone, participation will take place through nomination by a Party or an
already admitted organization via the ORS. Please find the list of admitted organizations

United Nations and related organizations and agencies
Please see the section "Attending sessions" here.
IGOs and NGOs with observer status
Please be advised that the online registration
system for IGOs and NGOs will remain suspended until 31 July 2017 due to the exceptionally
high volume of requests received by the secretariat. This is to allow the secretariat adequate time
to process these requests. Those organizations that have nominated representatives by 7 July
2017 will be able to confirm their representatives from 1 August 2017.
Nomination of representatives to “Bonn Zone Only” will also resume on 1 August
2017. The previous deadline of 25 August for nominations in “Bonn Zone Only” will
be extended accordingly. Please refer to ORS for the
exact date.
We greatly appreciate your understanding.
Registration for both zones is managed through the Online
Registration System. The zone for which a delegate is registered is determined by the badge
type which is chosen from the drop down box in the ORS.

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.
