Changes to the registration system and process

The UNFCCC secretariat has introduced updates to the registration of conference participants, with the aim to increase the transparency of participation in the UNFCCC process. Detailed information is available here.

Collecting conference badges

To be issued a conference badge, all participants must be duly registered as indicated in the section “How to register” above.

Upon arrival at the venue for the first time, participants are requested to proceed to the registration desk to collect badges for access to the conference premises. Participants must provide the following documents so that a badge will be issued:

• The acknowledgement letter sent to the participants from the online registration system upon successful registration – printed or on mobile device;
• a valid passport or a nationally approved photo identification card.

Participants with valid badges can directly access the venue through security and access control, where their badges will be scanned. There is no need to stop by the registration desk.

Once a badge has been issued and activated, the related record cannot be deleted from the database.

Pre-printing badges for Party and UN delegations

National focal points of Parties and Designated contact persons of the UN system may request that badges be pre-printed for their delegations. They may collect the badges in advance from the registration counter. The individual collecting the badges must sign on behalf of the delegates and is responsible for their proper distribution.

This option is available only to delegates who already have a photo in the system. To submit your request, please utilize the related section via the communication tab in the ORS. Select “Pre-printed badges” from the drop-down menu. It is important to note that delegates whose badges have been printed will be listed in the final List of Participants. For detailed instructions, please refer to the step-by-step guide available here.

Registration desk open hours: During the conference dates, registration counters will open from 8:00 – 19:00 hrs. A detailed schedule, including opening hours for the pre-sessional week, will be provided in due course.

Daily badges for IGOs and NGOs

Daily badges have been integrated into the process of nomination and confirmation on the ORS.  Further information is available here.
