WHAT ARE THE GREEN ZONE HUBS

Here is some information on what to expect during your visit to the Green Zone, a space managed and delivered by the COP28 Presidency. Additional details will follow in the days ahead to help visitors maximize their experience and engage in meaningful dialogue to address climate change at the individual level.

The Green Zone will serve as the central hub for action and will welcome all attendees. It will be open to the public, private sectors, media, youth, NGOs, as well as delegates and guests of the UNFCCC-managed Blue Zone for two weeks. The Blue Zone will be open to accredited party and observer delegates and will host formal negotiations.

The Green Zone will be a space where collective action can transform climate policy into concrete outcomes. With an all-hands-on-deck approach, it will accelerate the energy transition, building upon a legacy of driving impactful initiatives and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). COP28's mission in the Green Zone is to translate insights and ideas into
