Worth checking yourself

  • !Self funded travel to Antalya is a hard requirement, and nothing published says any COY21 delegate will be funded
  • !The delegate call appears only on the organisers' form, not on climatecoy.com, so their website cannot corroborate the deadline
  • !The organisers say venue details, delegate accreditation and the programme are still being finalised
  • !No registration or accommodation cost has been published either way, so a cost after acceptance cannot be ruled out
  • !No closing time or timezone is published anywhere. 23:59 Istanbul is inferred from the venue

LOT finds and checks opportunities from public sources. Always confirm details on the organiser’s own page before applying.
