Overview of participation opportunities
Opportunities currently open within the Expression of Interest process span both the Blue Zone and the Green Zone. They range from hosting events and securing exhibition space, to installations that leave a lasting legacy. The COP26 team will allocate successful proposals to the most appropriate space across the Summit.
Demand is expected to be high, and opportunities will be limited. We encourage collaborative proposals where possible and proposals which seek to amplify the voices, concerns and priorities of vulnerable groups, those most impacted by climate change, including but not limited to women, Indigenous Peoples, those with disabilities, young people and faith groups.
Within the Blue Zone we are looking for proposals that reflect our key themes through events such as workshops, panel discussions or thought leadership sessions.
The Green Zone will be a stakeholder-led space and act as a key hub for engagement during the Summit. As such we are keen to see proposals that drive participation and interaction focused on the themes of climate change.

We will also be showcasing the arts and culture and as such welcome expressions of interest from these groups.
The expression of interest process for these opportunities is now open. The deadline for applications is 17:00 GMT, Friday 5 March 2021.
Specific details of the opportunities currently open for expressions of interest can be found here. Proposals will be assessed against these criteria.

How else can I get involved?
Together for Our Planet
In the run-up to COP26, we are looking to work with UK organisations to mobilise all of society to engage with COP26 and take ambitious climate action ahead of the summit. That is why we’ve launched the Together for Our Planet campaign.
Many people from all over the UK are already doing their bit on climate change, from the engineers working on the offshore wind farms now powering our homes and businesses, to local initiatives encouraging children and parents to walk to school. We want to celebrate them and inspire more people to join them, and we will be showcasing these initiatives and organisations at the Summit.
For further information, and to see how you can get involved, visit the website or contact us at TogetherforOurPlanet@cabinetoffice.gov.uk
Sponsorship opportunities
We are keen to work with businesses who wish to lend their resources, commitment and expertise to COP26. These organisations must have ambitious, short-term climate action plans and strong sustainability credentials. Further sponsorship information can be found on the website.
