This platform is used to register as your organization's media focal point. The purpose is to establish a single point of contact who is designated to assign media personnel moving forward.
Please do not submit your application until all assigned staff have submitted their applications on our ORS platform. Keep in mind that they will not have to submit any verification documents.
In addition to the personal details, this application must include a letter of assignment and a list of assigned media personnel.
The letter of assignment must:
• Be on the organization’s official letterhead;
• Be addressed to the UN Climate Change Press Office;
• Be from the focal point's supervisor (if focal point is not most senior position)
• Confirm that the focal point is authorized by the organization to assign staff;
• Specify the meeting and dates to be covered;
• Include the focal point’s full name and position;
• Be signed by the focal point’s supervisor;
• Include the supervisor’s contact information;
• Include links to the organization’s website;
• State the type of coverage planned, such as news reporting, photo, video or documentary coverage.
The list of assigned media personnel must include:
• Full names as shown on ID;
• Email addresses used for ORS applications;
• Roles, such as journalist, cameraperson or audio technician.
The list of assigned personnel can be included in the letter of assignment or as a separate document.
If approved, the media focal point will receive a confirmation email. Matching ORS applications from assigned personnel will then be processed.
Changes to the list of assigned personnel should be sent to press@unfccc.int.
