UN Climate Negotiations

Did you know that LU researchers and students are eligible to participate in the international climate change negotiations as observers? Lund University is an admitted non-governmental organisation to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and are entitled to nominate observers for accreditation to UNFCCC meetings. This provides opportunity for you as associated to Lund University to participate in the negotations on site as an observer.

As an accredited observer delegate you get access to attend open meetings of the Conference of Parties (COP/MOP), ad hoc-working groups and subsidiary bodies as well as various side events, seminars and exhibitions. This implies possibilities to follow how particular issues of your interest proceeds in the negotiation process, meet with negotiators and network with researchers and other actors. If your interested in, for instance, accreditation for the COP18 summit in Doha, Qatar, in December the deadline for nomination is 9 October.
