Pilot phase for virtual-only registrations

The deadline to confirm registration for a Virtual-only badge is 2 June 2023, 23:59 CEST.

Please note that by accessing the virtual conference platform, all participants agree to adhere to the Code of conduct for UNFCCC conferences, meetings and events.

Who can participate in the SB 58 sessions? 

Participation at the June Climate Change conference is reserved for UNFCCC Parties, observer States, admitted observer organizations, UN and media representatives registered by their respective focal points in the Official Registration System and those invited to take part in specific meetings.

Setting up the stage

Find a quiet space with a plain background and place your computer on a flat surface.
Make sure your face is well lit. Use a light ring or natural light from a window.
The camera should be at eye level so you can directly face the other participants.
If you like, you can use one of the conference-branded Teams background images in your meetings. The files are accessible for download on the homepage of the virtual conference platform.
