Everything delegates need to reach Addis Ababa and navigate COP32 — visa, accommodation, transport, and on-site services.
Visa Application
Most delegates can apply for an Ethiopian e-visa online. COP32 accredited participants will receive guidance on expedited conference visas through the UNFCCC registration system. Allow at least two weeks processing time.
Accommodation
Official COP32 hotel blocks will be available in Bole, Kazanchis, and near the AU campus — ranging from budget to five-star. A dedicated portal will open in 2027 for party and observer delegations. Early booking is strongly recommended.
