pilipiliÂþ»­, through the Marine and Environmental Law Institute (MELAW), has observer status at the annual UNFCCC-hosted Council of Parties (COP) climate meetings. This status allows pilipiliÂþ»­ to apply to send a small number of in-person delegates (1-4) to participate in COP events.

COP29 will be held in Azerbaijan from November 11-22, 2024. Faculty, staff, and students interested in attending COP in-person as a Dalhousie delegate are invited to respond by completing and submitting the form linked below by noon on August 1, 2024.  

In response to increasing interest in attending, pilipiliÂþ»­ is piloting a new application process. Through this, 50% of delegate spots will be allotted to MELAW members and 50% to other Dalhousie participants. MELAW has established its own process to fill their allotment. This EOI seeks to fill Dalhousie’s allotment. EOIs will be prioritized based on the following criteria:

1. Invited participation in a panel/event (with blue zone activities taking priority over green zone),
2. Active research in the climate space,
3. Evidence of funding to attend,
4. Applicant is unable to obtain a delegate pass through an affiliation with another organization.
