Frequently asked questions
The essentials for anyone attending a Kale Group event. See the official COP31 FAQ for the latest details.
Who can attend Kale Group events in the Blue Zone?
The Blue Zone is open only to UNFCCC-accredited country delegations, observer organisations, UN agencies and accredited media; it is not open to the public. Accreditation runs online through UNFCCC.
How do I get into Green Zone events, and is there a fee?
The Green Zone is open to everyone and entry is generally free. Online pre-registration is required in most cases; walk-in capacity is limited. Bring a valid ID (passport, driving licence or national ID).
Where is the venue and how do I get there?
Both zones share one site: Antalya Expo in Aksu. Public transport, tram and shuttles are recommended; private cars are discouraged. Transport is free for accredited participants.
What are the Green Zone opening hours and security checks?
Usually open 09:00–20:00, varying by event. Entry involves bag checks, X-ray screening and metal detectors; dangerous and sharp items are prohibited. Cafés, Wi-Fi, work areas and information desks are available on site.
Do I need to register separately for a Kale Group event?
Most events are open-door once you have zone access. Events that require registration or an invitation say so in the "Attendance" row of the event page. Changes are updated on this site.
What about visas and accommodation?
Most international participants need a visa; special procedures may apply to COP31 attendees. Official accommodation is booked through COP31’s designated partner platform.
