Greening our meetings:

As part of our Environmental Management System, the Secretariat is committed to making its meetings as green and sustainable as possible. Participants can support this, among others, by:

• Bringing and utilising reusable water bottles during the meeting
• Bringing and reusing lanyards

For more information, see the ‘Green travel and event tips’ under ‘Greening our meetings’.

 

Side events and exhibitions:

Submissions of applications are now closed (Closing date 19 September 2025).

Late applications will not be considered. All costs related to the rental of equipment for side events and exhibitions will be borne by the requesting organization.

It is anticipated that the MOP37 will be a very busy meeting. Please note, the Secretariat reserves the right to alter bookings, or potentially cancel side events, in consultation with the organisers, to accommodate contact groups and regional groups, if necessary.

 

Delegate statements:

Parties are requested to submit their statements in advance by email to Jacqueline Nyanjui (jacqueline.nyanjui [at] un.org (jacqueline[dot]nyanjui[at]un[dot]org)) by close of business on Friday, 31 October 2025. The order in which statements are delivered will be determined by the date and time of their submission.
 

Meeting room reservations

To reserve rooms for regional and bilateral consultations before the start of the meetings, kindly send an email to the Secretariat (Esther.Nginyo [at] un.org (Esther[dot]Nginyo[at]un[dot]org) with a copy to Sandeep.Bhambra [at] un.org (Sandeep[dot]Bhambra[at]un[dot]org)) indicating the date, time and duration of the event and the expected number of participants. Owing to the limited availability of rooms at UNON Complex, the Secretariat may not be able to fulfil all requests. Priority will be given to requests from parties.

Once the meetings have started, requests to reserve rooms should be emailed to the Conference Officer (Nadya.Omar [at] un.org (Nadya[dot]Omar[at]un[dot]org)).

 

Credentials of parties’ representatives

Rule 18 of the rules of procedure for meetings of the parties to the Montreal Protocol provides that the credentials of representatives and the names of alternate representatives and advisers are to be submitted to the Executive Secretary of the meeting, if possible, no later than twenty hours after the opening of the meeting. Any later change in the composition of a delegation is also to be submitted to the Executive Secretary. Accordingly, credentials are required for participation and should be issued either by the Head of State or Government or by the Minister of Foreign Affairs or, in the case of a regional economic integration organization, by the competent authority of that organization. The Secretariat invites parties to submit an electronic copy of their credentials in advance of the meeting, preferably by Monday, 27 October 2025 to facilitate the process of reviewing these credentials. Parties should submit the signed and scanned credentials by email to Pablo Moscoso de la Cuba (pablo.moscosodelacuba [at] un.org (pablo[dot]moscosodelacuba[at]un[dot]org)) with a copy to Jacqueline Nyanjui (jacqueline.nyanjui [at] un.org (jacqueline[dot]nyanjui[at]un[dot]org)). Representatives are urged to come to MOP37 with original credentials duly signed by the Head of State or Government or by a Minister of Foreign Affairs or, in the case of a regional economic integration organization, by the competent authority of that organization and to submit them to the Secretariat as soon as possible after the start of the meeting.  In accordance with rule 19, the officers of the meeting shall thereafter examine the credentials and submit their report to the meeting.
