SUMMARY:COP30 UNFCCC: Timelines for the selection process for a side event and/or an exhibit
DESCRIPTION:While the secretariat continues its efforts to find sufficient funding for the coordination of side events and exhibits at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 30\, in order to save the time for required authorization and mergers of applications\, SEORS will be open in parallel so that the secretariat can immediately start the selection process if and when sufficient resources are found. The secretariat will keep observer organizations and Parties partnering with observer organizations informed of the selection process through the SEORS webpage. \nIn this context\, please note that the timelines for the selection process for a side event and/or an exhibit at COP 30 have been announced on our official webpage. As indicated on the website\, the application period will open on Wednesday\, 16 July 2025\, 10 am CEST\, and close on Monday\, 21 July 2025\, 5 pm CEST. The process would not begin or would be halted if and when resources are not sufficient. \nNotwithstanding\, as in the past\, Side Events and Exhibits Online Registration System (SEORS) will be the only channel used by the UNFCCC secretariat to receive applications for official side events and official exhibits by observer organizations\, and Parties partnering with admitted observer organizations. \nFor further information on side events and exhibits\, please consult the Side Events and Exhibits information page on the official UNFCCC website and also the Information for COP 30 Participants. In particular\, you can find side events and exhibits eligibility and selection criteria on the official UNFCCC website: \nSide events and exhibits eligibility criteria;\nSide events and exhibits selection criteria. Please take note of our updated selection criteria\, in view of the recent high number of applications and the situations where even the joint applications have to be declined and in accordance with the mandate from Parties to “continue taking administrative measures to encourage a more diverse representation of observer organizations and to consider opportunities to enhance participation of observer organizations… in particular for organizations from underrepresented regions” (FCCC/SBI/2024/13\, para. 201(d)(iii). \nNGO Constituency Focal Points are copied in this communication for information. \nKind regards\, \nObserver Relations Team \nClimate Action Engagement Unit \nCommunications and Engagement Division \n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \n \n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\nPlatz der Vereinten Nationen 1 \n53113 Bonn\, Germany \n \n  \n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\nPlatz der Vereinten Nationen 1 \n53113 Bonn\, Germany \n
