· PEER-REVIEW DEADLINE
Alignment of State of Nature metrics with the KMGBF monitoring framework
CBD peer review of a draft study for Parties, Indigenous peoples and local communities, women and youth organisations and relevant bodies. This is a technical submission, not COP17 registration.
The CBD information note updated on 3 September asks organisers to request the Banquet Hall (seated) or Reception Hall (standing) from the Secretariat by 7 September, including the event concept, date, time, duration and guest count. Availability and approval are required; this is separate from catering orders.
7 September, 11:00–12:00 China Standard Time. The opening press conference for the Kunming Dialogue ahead of COP17’s first global review will stream online in English and Chinese. This media briefing is separate from COP17 registration.
The live official application page now displays 15 September. Companies and organisations apply separately from public attendance. A standard 3m × 3m booth costs AMD 1,440,000 including local taxes for 19–30 October; payment is due within 10 business days after confirmation.
Submitting and hosting are free, but acceptance and preferred timing are not guaranteed. Final presentation materials for selected sessions are due 5 October. This is separate from public attendance.
There is no application fee. Multiple proposals require separate forms, and every performer and crew member needs registration and accreditation. Preferred timing and acceptance are not guaranteed.
The official registration hub now shows the Sponsor application as open, with a shared 15 September deadline. Confirm partnership scope, pricing and benefits in the form or with official support. This is separate from public attendance.
Extended from 20 August to 15 September. Parties, governments, Indigenous peoples and local communities, relevant organisations and technical/scientific cooperation support centres may submit one A1 digital poster in JPEG or PDF.
The host-government site states 15 September as the deadline, while the CBD notification says preferably by that date. Treat 15 September as the safe operational deadline and include participant details and meetings.
Apply through the dedicated route by 15 September. There is no on-site accreditation; press credentials or an assignment letter are required, and dual accreditation is not allowed.
Catering for Private Pavilions and Commercial Offices
The CBD information note updated on 3 September sets 25 September for catering orders and full payment through the official portal. Approved official Side Events receive separate CBD email instructions; do not order before selection. This is not a meal-booking deadline for ordinary attendees.
FPWC offers one-hour sessions for about 40 participants, listing US$1,000 for partners and US$1,500 standard. Application or payment guarantees neither selection nor Blue Zone accreditation; secure CBD registration separately. Ask the organiser about limited assistance for IPLC, youth and small organisations.
The BLGD organiser gives 30 September as the award nomination deadline. This is separate from registration or session proposals for the 24 October event; use the Awards nomination link on the organiser’s page.
The dedicated page, shared banner and FAQ now agree on 1 October. Final accreditation confirmation is due by 15 October. Blue Zone media accreditation already grants Green Zone access; a Green Zone pass does not grant Blue Zone access.
Final presentation materials for Green Zone sessions
The official session-registration PDF sets 5 October for selected sessions’ final presentation materials, separate from the 15 September proposal deadline. Submission and hosting are free, but selection and preferred timing are not guaranteed.
9th Summit for Subnational Governments and Cities (24 October)
ICLEI provides a registration form and a 09:00–16:00 programme. Capacity is limited and applicants must be authorised to represent their institution. Accreditation facilitation requires a passport photo page and an authorisation letter; applying does not guarantee a place or CBD accreditation.
Runs from 08:00 on 23 Oct to 17:00 on 24 Oct in central Yerevan. Planned topics include the 2026 Status Report, LEAP updates, technical topics and the Asking Better Questions on Nature guides. Venue details are being finalised; interest registration guarantees neither a seat nor Blue Zone access.
Green Zone public-attendee registration (19–30 October)
Public admission is free, but online pre-registration or an on-site Visitor Pass is required. Online registration remains “Coming soon”. This is separate from exhibitor, session, cultural and media applications, and does not confer Blue Zone access.
FPWC’s international symposium for up to 200 delegates is accepting registrations. Confirm the final venue and detailed programme before locking transport and accommodation.
Business for Nature COP17 business guidance and opportunities
Checked 4 September 2026. High-level business guidance, talking points, an event calendar, briefings and engagement opportunities remain in preparation. This is not a public conference-badge application route, so secure formal nomination separately through a government or CBD-admitted organisation.
CBD Communities of Practice implementation webinars
8 September: agriculture; 15 September: trade; 22 September: private-sector action using the IPBES business and biodiversity assessment; 29 September: aquaculture. The local-government detail page says 16 September at 09:00 EDT (13:00 UTC), while the series index still says 9 September; confirm in the registration form. These online learning opportunities are separate from COP17 registration. Confirm each session’s registration and time on the official page.
CBD’s official list confirms Business Forum on 25 October and Finance Day on 26 October. Final session times, rooms, capacity and registration details remain pending.
The host-government site also confirms that applications are closed. This was not an audience-registration deadline. Accepted events, times and rooms are pending.
This was the prospective-exhibitor deadline, not an attendee deadline. 15 August was the planned notification date; confirm acceptance directly with the organiser.
This voluntary survey on organisations’ progress with nature-related assessment and disclosure closed on 14 August. Results publish in September and will be covered in the COP17 programme. It is separate from event registration.
Accreditation request for a new Observer organisation
This closed on 31 August. It was organisation-level admission, not an unaffiliated individual application. Individuals cannot be accredited as Observers; admitted bodies move to nomination and registration by 15 September.
Biodiversity Law & Governance Day 2026 session proposals
The 31 August proposal deadline has passed. The 24 October event now displays a registration button, but it points to Eventbrite’s homepage rather than a verified event form. Confirm the venue, detailed programme and working registration route with the organiser.
Peer review of ecosystem-based climate adaptation and disaster-risk guidance
CBD invites comments on expanded nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based climate adaptation and disaster-risk guidance supporting KMGBF Targets 8 and 11 and related targets. The review submission deadline passed on 2 September. English follow-up webinars run on 29 September at 07:00–09:00 and 15:00–17:00 UTC. This is separate from COP17 registration.
CBD has published dates for the major parallel meetings. The densest business and finance overlap is 24–26 October; adding the Action Zone on the 23rd and Gender Forum on the 27th creates a stronger decision-making window.
PUBLISHED
Blue Zone programmes require a COP17 registration badge. Dates are published by CBD; some final times, rooms, capacity limits and event-specific registration arrangements are still pending.
CBD date + organiser announcement
Business, finance and youth take the Action Zone
The official Action Zone Auditorium allocation is in the Blue Zone. It overlaps the organiser-announced first day of TNFD's programme, so split coverage when session times are released.

Cities, science, nature and culture converge
Nature and Culture Summit, Cities Summit and Science Forum overlap. The GBF Pavilion covers invasive alien species in the morning, water in the afternoon; the previous evening ocean slot is not currently listed and needs final-programme confirmation.

A day to track resource mobilisation across finance, policy and business. Mountain ecosystems occupy the GBF Pavilion all day. Final times, rooms and any event-specific registration remain pending.

Connect the Gender Forum to faster delivery
Gender Forum takes place, while the GBF Pavilion covers faster NBSAP implementation in the morning and education in the afternoon. If this is your departure day, check the flight conflict before fixing the itinerary.
