Who can register
Parties to the Convention, United Nations and related organizations and agencies, media and non-profit organizations with observer status may register to attend the sessions of the Convention. More information on options for participation is available here.
All formalities regarding registration, including issuance of badges to duly nominated participants to attend the sessions, are free of charge.
How to register
Registration for the conference is managed through the UNFCCC Online Registration System (ORS).
The information note on the opening of ORS for Parties and observer States as well as for admitted intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has been issued on 23 June 2022:
United Nations organizations and specialized Agencies have been notified on their registration process and using the Online Registration System (ORS). Further training and workshops will be conducted for UN organizations and specialized Agencies on how to register delegates using the ORS. More information on the dates of the workshops will be provided in due course via email.
Multiple registration for the conference is not permitted (i.e. registration as an observer organization representative and a Party or State representative and/or press/media representative).
Collecting conference badges
To be issued a conference badge, all participants must be duly registered as indicated in the section āHow to registerā above.
Upon arrival at the conference for the first time, delegates will be requested to proceed to the registration desk to collect their badges for access to the premises. Delegates should present the acknowledgement letter from the UNFCCC Online Registration System, printed or on mobile device, and the ID document entered during online registration, such as a valid passport or a nationally approved identification card for the issuance of a badge.
For subsequent visits to the venue, once participants have their badges, they may access the venue directly through security, without stopping at the registration desk.
Pre-printing badges for Party and UN delegations
National focal points of Parties and designated contact persons of the UN system may request to have badges pre-printed for their delegations and have them collected in advance from the registration counters. The person collecting the badges shall then sign on behalf of the delegates and will be responsible for the distribution of those badges. This option is available only to those delegates who already have a photo in the system. Kindly submit your request under the related section via the communication tab in the ORS by selecting āPre-printed badgesā from the drop-down menu. Please note that a delegate whose badge has been printed will be reflected in the List of Participants.

Daily badges for IGOs and NGOs
For COP 27, a limited number of daily badges per organization can be requested. The application window for COP 27 daily badges will be from 10 October, 08:00 hrs CEST, to 15 October 2022, 08:00 hrs CEST. Applications submitted after the deadline cannot be accepted.
Please find some useful links on how to use the daily badge system:
Prerequisite for daily badges
- The delegates should have been nominated by the nomination deadline.
- A quota has been allocated to your organization, as applicable.
- The delegates have been confirmed by the Designated Contact Point in the ORS.
Important notes to Designated Contact Points (DCP) of IGOs and NGOs on daily badges
- Once a daily badge request is submitted, it cannot be changed or altered due to operational and technical reasons.
- It is the responsibility of the DCP to inform the Donor of the changes, i.e. that his/her attendance days have been partly assigned to a Recipient via the daily badge system. Although ORS sends automatically an email to all involved (Donor, Recipient and DCP), this might not be seen or end in Spam folder.
- Daily badges apply to participants who will be physically present in COP 27.
