From November 11 to 22, 2024
The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country and Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). We take part in the Climate Change Conference of the Parties every year.
COP29 will be held in Azerbaijan, in Baku.
Obtaining accreditation from the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to participate in official events or missions involves compliance with certain well-defined conditions. These conditions respect both the effectiveness of institutional representation and compliance with administrative and logistical requirements.
It is important to note that balanced and differentiated representation is an essential component of these accreditation criteria. Youth participation and equitable gender representation are not only encouraged, but also necessary to recognize Congolese society and ensure inclusive perspectives in deliberations and discussions during official events and missions. This approach ensures that the voices of younger generations and different groups in society are taken into account in the decisions and actions taken by the government of the DRC.
As part of Cop29, to obtain this accreditation, it is necessary to fulfill several essential criteria. Among these, it is imperative that each institution designates a maximum number of three delegates, all of whom have a passport valid for a period of more than six months. Additionally, full travel preparation requires support for associated costs, including a round-trip ticket, hotel reservation confirmation, travel insurance, and an official mission order.
We would like to express our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation in respecting these accreditation criteria established by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo. These conditions aim to guarantee responsible participation and ensure balanced and effective representation during official events and missions, while meeting the requirements and ensuring compliance with the administrative and logistical standards of the United Nations Framework Convention.
We have emphasized that, given the nature of the events and missions, not all accreditation requests will be able to be accepted due to capacity limitations and other logistical constraints. However, we would like to remind you that we value the participation and commitment of all. For those who cannot be physically present, it will be possible to make a request to follow the events online, to allow remote participation and continued involvement.
Once again, we thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Your commitment to balanced representation and diversity is essential to foster dialogue and actions towards a more inclusive and sustainable future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
