Side events

SEORS

Side events were established as a platform for observer organizations to highlight diverse climate change issues at UNFCCC conferences. Side events are a vital component of the sessions, as they provide opportunities for information dissemination, capacity building, policy discussions and legitimizing global governance.

Parties, UN agencies and admitted observer organizations present their work or foster discussions on key issues, often engaging the audience in a Q&A session. Most of the Side Events are held at the buildings of the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Transport, thanks to the generous offer of space and services by the Government of Germany.

Other Events
Besides the official side events coordinated by the UNFCCC secretariat, Parties and observer organizations often organize their own events relating to the climate change negotiation process outside the conference premises. Some NGOs also hold media actions or public activities in order to raise public awareness or to communicate with delegates during the sessions. The information on such events and activities will be announced here on a request basis.
