Green List of official side events at UNFCCC COP 22/ CMP 12/ CMA 1Marrakech- Morocco

With a view to reinforcing the greening of the UNFCCC COP 22/CMP12/ CMA 1 in Marrakech, the organizers of all official side events were strongly encouraged by the UNFCCC secretariat to disseminate their side event materials through electronic means only.

In order to track the sustainability level of each side event, a 3-level rating was used:

green electronic dissemination of materials only

orange limited number of printed materials combined with electronic dissemination

red a lot of leftover printed materials

Thanks to the exemplary commitment and cooperation of many side event organizers, 110 side events (55% of the total of 201; up from 39% at COP 21/CMP 11) were rated green*. Only those events have been included in this list. Inaddition, those green side events for which electronic materials have been also disseminated through the UNFCCC website are highlighted with additional special ‘badge’ (see the legend below):

100% electronic dissemination of materials

Uploading of side event materials on the UNFCCC website

The green side events are listed in alphabetical order according to the name of the lead organizer (in bold), which is followed by the co-organizer(s)’ name(s). The green side events organized by UN and related organizations, including UNFCCC, are listed on a separate page at the end of the document.

Due to the missing sustainability data on some exhibits at COP 22/CMP12/ CMA 1 and in the spirit of fairness, this Green List does not include any exhibits, although many were rated green and their sustainability commitment is very much appreciated.

* The evaluation of the sustainability level of each side event was implemented by side events liaison staff onsite. If you have any question or remark about the rating, please contact see@unfccc.int.
