Accreditation for UNFCCC Climate Change Conference

Lund University has observer status to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which means that Lund University can send a delegation of Lund University researchers and students to attend the yearly UN climate change conferences and other meetings and negotiations under the UNFCCC. Below, you find more information about the UNFCCC and how to apply for accreditation.

Accreditation process

Delegates do not receive funding through this application and need to cover their own costs.

SB 62 in Bonn 2025

Application for accreditation 

The application for accreditation will open in later on.

Accreditation for external actors

Due to the limited badge-quota that we receive from the UNFCCC, we prioritise Lund University researchers and students. If we have badges left, we make an announcement via the badge exchange of the RINGO (Research and Independent Non-Governmental Organizations)-constituency. We therefore refer external actors interested in accreditation to the RINGO-badge exchange. Read more about the RINGO constituency at their website ringosnet.wordpress.com


Visa, travel and accommodation 

Please note that delegates arrange their own visas, travels and accommodation for the session. For questions regarding visa, business travel, and accommodation we refer to the links below.

About the UNFCCC

UNFCCC logo
  • The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established in 1992 and almost all countries have ratified the convention.
  • Each year, usually around November/December, the annual UN Climate Change Conference takes place. The conference is a platform for a range of meetings and negotiations, including the Conference of the Parties (COP). The UN Climate Change Conference is often called “COP” followed by the number of negotiations that have taken place. In 2024, the Parties to the UNFCCC will meet for the 29th time – COP 29.
  • The UN Climate Change Conference is held in different regions of the world according to a rotating schedule. In 2024, Azerbaijan hosts the conference.
  • Each year, usually around May/June, there are also inter-sessional negotiations held in Bonn, Germany - the Bonn Climate Change Conference.
