Within the UNFCCC conference venue (Blue Zone), the secretariat, in close cooperation with UN Department of Safety and Security, facilitates advocacy actions to ensure that diverse perspectives are heard during the climate change conference while maintaining that the UNFCCC process remains conducive to intergovernmental dialogues.
There is a well established process for obtaining clearance from UNFCCC to organize an advocacy action. Information on the clearance process can be found here.
To apply for an advocacy action within the conference venue, please fill in this form by 10:00 am the day prior to the planned action. The secretariat will inform of its decision the evening prior to the planned action.
If you plan to organize a demonstration outside of the Blue Zone, please get in touch with the local authorities. Please see information on how to get in touch with the local authorities here.
