The conference has two key zones for visitors.

Overseen by the COP28 Presidency, the Green Zone has been structured to enable engagement and interaction with the Blue Zone.

The zone has seven thematic hubs aimed at engaging and informing general visitors about climate change and action.

It will be open to Blue Zone delegates and guests, the public and private sectors, NGOs, and the general public.

The Blue Zone, on the other hand, is a UNFCCC-managed site, open to accredited party and observer delegates only.

It will conduct more than 300 talks and discussions about climate change, climate action and sustainability.

Visitors can connect and learn from over 200 groups including private companies and civil society organisations.

Visitor hours for the Green Zone hubs are from 10am-6pm.

Children aged 12 and under are not required to register for admission.

Tickets and travel

Valid only for the day you choose, allowing access only on that date.

Each ticket can be scanned only once, so it cannot be used for multiple entries. Visitors are encouraged to use the Dubai Metro for the fastest and most sustainable way to travel to both COP28 zones.

Take note

Tickets for the zone will not be available from November 30 to December 2 – the first three days of COP28.

Access to the Green Zone will be strictly by invitation-only during these days.
