The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP29) summit is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan Nov. 11 to 22, 2024. Join UBC’s delegation at COP29 to watch the international climate negotiation process first-hand, conduct primary research, build climate connections and partnerships, and share knowledge with a global audience.
UBC students, faculty and staff: Apply by July 1 to be one of a group of seven to 10 delegates chosen by a UBC panel of judges. Selected undergraduate students are eligible for up to $1,500 and selected graduate students are eligible for up to $1,000 to cover travel and accommodations.
Each year, UBC receives a limited number of observer badges for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP) negotiation space, AKA the Blue Zone. In the past, members of the UBC community attended COP22 to 28 as official observers. This year, UBC is aiming to receive at least five badges for each week of COP29 (Nov.11 to 16 and Nov. 17 to 22).
Application timeline: June 1 to July 1, 2024
