COP29 Delegate Applications OPEN!

Dear Global Greens family,

We hope this finds you well in your corner of our beautiful planet.

Following our work at previous COP’s, we are now busy preparing for COP29 in Baku. We are very excited to open the Global Greens COP29 Delegates selection process. If you would like to represent and deliver Global Green activities in the run up to and at COP29, this is your opportunity to get involved.

Please read through the guidelines below and submit your application here.

The deadline for submissions is Sunday 18th August 2024.

From this, applications blinded and a longlist made of potential delegates who will then be registered in the UNFCCC system. Once more details have been provided by the UNFCCC, a shortlist will be devised, with a reserve list of potential delegates should anyone from the shortlist be unable to attend.

Key information:

This is open to Global Greens’ Green Party members only
Delegates must have some understanding of COP processes and the key issues
Delegates must be able to self-fund
Successful delegates will be assigned either week 1, or week 2. Please indicate a preference.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference COP28 will take place from 11th to 22nd November 2024 in Baku, Azerbijian. The Global Greens will be sending a selection of delegates* to observe negotiations, represent the Global Greens and report back to our network of member organisations. Global Greens delegates will be considered Non-Governmental Observers for the purpose of the Conference.

The application process for Global Greens delegates to COP29 has been designed to ensure that:

The diversity of our member organisations is equitably represented, with at least two delegates selected from each of the four Global Greens Federations.
A minimum of 50% of our delegates will identify as women or non-binary;
There is a balance between delegates who already have international negotiation experience, and those with a demonstrated commitment to climate campaigning within their communities.

Applications will be each graded by the Review Panel. The panel will grade responses without reference to demographic details to minimise the impact of unconscious bias on the process.

After the Review Panel selects its preferred candidates, we may contact your regional Federation for further information, such as your history of involvement in Federation activities.

Unfortunately, there is no funding available for COP29. Delegates may need to fundraise and can be supported with this, and be expected to meet the costs of attending in Dubai.

It’s also important that delegates understand COP processes, and have an understanding of the key issues.

The language of COP is English, so applicants must be comfortable working in English in an international environment.

Please submit your application here.
