LMU at the UN Climate Change Conferences

Creating a Brighter World

LMU’s designation as a UNFCCC non-governmental organization observer allows the university to organize delegations of accredited students and faculty members to participate in the annual U.N. Conference of the Parties that rotates between member countries. Delegation participants will have access to the official proceedings and related events that give students an opportunity to talk with climate experts, government officials and others.

LMU is one of roughly 100 non-governmental organizations granted observer status at the December Conference of Parties. Observers consist of intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations that are not part of the UN system.
