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. Further information on advocacy actions, including the application and clearance process, can be found in the Observers’ Guide to Advocacy Actions.
To request authorization for an advocacy action within the conference venue, please submit the application form, available here. Please submit your application by 10:00 am on the day prior to the planned action. The secretariat will communicate its decision by the evening of the same day.
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 .
