#IPBES10 Media Registration Protocol
Please use this form to apply for media accreditation for the launch of the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment during the tenth session of the IPBES Plenary (#IPBES10). The launch will be held as a hybrid event from 2 p.m. CEST on Monday, 4 September, 2023: You can attend either virtually or in-person on the UN Campus (Langer Eugen Room 2716), Platz der Vereinten Nationen 1, 53113 Bonn, Germany.
All accredited media representatives will automatically receive online accreditation. This means that you will receive media materials via email, under strict embargo, following the approval of the Summary for Policymakers by the IPBES Plenary, but before the start of the media launch. You will also receive the access information to attend the virtual media briefing via Zoom webinar. In-person accreditation includes all these elements, but will additionally allow the media representatives to enter the UN Campus for the briefing.
No other sessions of #IPBES10 will be open to the media. Please note that due to fire codes the number of participants allowed in the room for the launch will be limited.
Attention: By accrediting, you are agreeing to accept and abide by the date and time of the embargo that will be placed on the materials. This means you agree to neither publish, air, nor circulate any of these materials in any form prior to the embargo being lifted. You may approach third parties for comment during the embargo period but only if they agree, in turn, to abide by the same restrictions. Failure to adhere to these conditions will result in journalists or media outlets being excluded from future embargo arrangements. Please note that the contents of all embargoed materials will be subject to change and must be checked against the final versions.
Members of the media are required to have a valid press card, or a valid media accreditation badge. If you do not have a press card (e.g., you may be a regular blogger but not a formal media employee), please instead submit a recent sample of your work in a subject area related to the work of IPBES.
Please ensure that you have scanned copies of your media credentials/sample ready when you start filling in the form as the system will not allow you to proceed without uploading these. Credentials/samples should be uploaded as a single file (pdf, jpg, doc, docx).
If the IPBES media team approves your registration application, you will receive an email with further information. Please note that due to the high number of requests, this may take a few days.
The deadline for applications for ‘Site’ accreditation to attend in-person is 21 August 2023.
