*Provisionally admitted observer organization
For information purposes, a breakdown of the application period is provided below (all deadlines were at COB, 17:00 CEST):
The secretariat will pilot a new streamlined approach for the organisation and hosting of exhibits at COP 25. Based on on-site observations of exhibits from past COPs, the secretariat is seeking to encourage focused utilisation of exhibit spaces and increase capacity through the allocation of rotating two-day exhibition slots per organisation. The new approach will result in each selected organisation receiving a two-day slot to display their exhibits and is expected to promote a more dynamic exhibit space. Applicants should therefore be aware that when registering on SEORS for COP 25, it will be necessary to select the preferred two-day window in which they would like to host an exhibit.
Information on the eligibility and selection criteria may be found via the following page.
