How to attend COP26

The document explains that COP26 is divided into a UN-managed Blue Zone for accredited experts and decision-makers and a host-nation-managed Green Zone for the public. It outlines various methods of attendance, including official accreditation, volunteering, obtaining passes from partner entities, participating in city-wide events in Glasgow, and engaging via online broadcasts and social media.

• COP26 is divided into two distinct areas: the Blue Zone, managed by the United Nations for over 30,000 accredited experts and decision-makers, and the Green Zone, managed by the host nation for public interaction, education, and collaboration.
• Access to the Blue Zone requires accreditation from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with attendees receiving color-coded badges such as yellow for NGOs, blue for UN observers, and orange for media.
• Beyond official zones, individuals can engage with COP26 through volunteering, joining the COP26 Universities Network, participating in mass mobilisations and protests in Glasgow, or accessing online broadcasts and interviews via the UNFCCC YouTube account.
