High-Level Segment

COP 9 will include a high-level ministerial segment organized by the host country in consultation with the Secretariat and the COP Bureau. The high‑level segment will take place from 28 to 30 May 2008 at the World Conference Center Bonn.

Please see letter below from the host country:

Dear Sir/Madam,

In early February the Federal Ministry for the Environment sent you, via the German embassies, an information note providing details on the programme and a technical note containing organisational information. A short version of the information note is available here.

If you have not yet received the technical note, please contact the Federal Environment Ministry immediately Charlotte.bouchon@bmu.bund.de. You will then receive the necessary information for the High-Level Segment online registration which must be completed by 30 April. Please feel free to have your embassies conduct the online registration.

We look forward to welcoming you to the High-Level Segment!
