Virtual Platform

COP27 virtual platform: The COP 27 virtual platform has been launched for all registered participants. Please make sure to check your access and log in in advance. Once you enter the platform, you will find a support function by clicking the floating Chat button on the bottom corner of every page.  You can also email the Support Hub by clicking the headphone icon in the bottom left of your screen. There will be no remote active participation, including for Parties. Negotiations and interventions in negotiating groups will take place in-person only. So, observers and Parties joining remotely will be able to watch only.

Briefings with observer organizations:

Briefings with observer organizations will be posted on the COP 27 Opportunities and Updates page.

Tickets for limited access meetings

Information on limited access meetings/events for which tickets are distributed, will be posted on the COP 27 Opportunities and Updates page.

Meeting notes from constituency members

It is impossible to be everywhere at COP or to even be there at all!  To support one another, RINGO members are often willing to share notes from meetings they attend.  Please email notes that you are able to contribute to notes@ringofocalpoint.org. Meeting notes will be posted on the notes page as they become available.
