Attending a UN climate negotiation for the first time can be overwhelming, especially at a Conference of the Parties (COP) session, where complex procedures, overlapping meetings, and technical jargon are the norm. Developed under the UNDP–UNEP NAP-Global Support Programme, this toolkit is designed to help new delegates—particularly from Least Developed Countries (LDCs)—navigate the UNFCCC process with confidence. Focusing on how the negotiations work rather than their technical content, it provides practical guidance, insider tips, and clear explanations to make the experience more accessible. Whether read cover to cover or consulted section by section, the toolkit serves as a hands-on resource to support delegates in making the most of their participation.
