How will the posters suggestions be evaluated

Due to the limitation in space, not all applications will be selected. The secretariat will conduct an evaluation based on the below-listed evaluation criteria:

• Adheres to the formats – i.e. size of poster, language (samples of posters available here and here);
• Is directly related to one or more ACE elements – climate education and public awareness, training, public participation and access to information, and international cooperation in these areas, and/or youth engagement in climate action;
• The contents of the posters showcase the relevant work on the ground at all levels. The posters and the in-person interaction should foster engagement and collaboration that goes beyond the poster session. In this sense, applications made by organizations will be prioritized;
• Joint application by two or more organizations (e.g., a joint poster by a Party and a UN organization, or by a civil society organizations and a youth organization) are highly encouraged;
• Gets the messages across to a broad audience;
• Reflects gender-responsiveness and intergenerational equity;
• In-person presenters would have already been accepted to attend the session in the Online Registration System for SB 58;
• Presenters are responsible for their funding;
• Should not be politically defamatory.
   

Important Note: The selected presenters are fully responsible for preparing and bringing high-quality printed posters to the session. Specific drop-off time and locations will be notified to the selected presenters prior to the session. Pinboards will be provided by the secretariat.
