COP28 UAE BLUE ZONE: PAVILIONS EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Background

COP28 UAE aims to deliver an inclusive, cost-effective and first-class experience for all those attending.

The COP28 UAE Blue Zone will be hosted at Expo City Dubai. Being a built environment, our approach to delegation offices & pavilions will be different from previous COPs. We aim to create an exciting, streamlined, and supportive environment to enhance collaboration between stakeholders, and engagement in general.

As we advance in our planning, we would like to receive your requests to assess the feasibility of providing you with a suitable offer for your pavilion and/or offices.

All parties to the Convention as well as more than 3,000 accredited observer organizations are invited to submit an Expression of Interest.

For detailed information on the options highlighted below, please download our Expression of Interest brochure here.

IMPORTANT: Your Expression of Interest doesn't automatically confirm our commitment to delivering on specific requirements. After the application process closes on 15 June 2023, we will endeavor to align your requirements with the spaces that are available. You will receive a proposal from us, based on this process.

Please note, in accordance with UNFCCC regulations, only Parties and accredited observer organizations at the time of application will be considered for space allocation within the Blue Zone.

Events Management Company

Acting on feedback received from earlier COPs regarding the cost of fit outs for pavilions, COP28 UAE has taken steps to innovate the process. As part of these improvements, we have appointed an Event Management Company (EMC) to exclusively handle the setup of pavilions within the Blue Zone.

The EMC will provide a fixed set of tiered packages to meet pavilion requirements. It will also provide support for required permits and other operational requirements to streamline and simplify the buildup, and to ensure it is more cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable.
