The deadline for
registration/accreditation for the first Preparatory Committee meeting
(PrepCom1) for the 2016 Habitat III Conference is 31 August 2014.
PrepCom 1 will take place at United Nations Headquarters in New York on 17-18
September 2014.
Interested organizations that have
consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and wish to
participate in the first Preparatory Committee meeting only need to register,
but no later than 31 August.
Organizations currently not in
consultative status with ECOSOC, but that wish to attend and contribute to the
Conference and its PrepComs, have to apply for special accreditation and then
register by the same date.
All information about how to register and/or apply for special accreditation
can be found here.
(The amount of documentation that is
required for organizations without ECOSOC consultative status to apply for
special accreditation is considerable. It is therefore advisable to start
preparing the application well before the 31 August deadline.)

preparatory process, including official documents for PreCom1, can be found here.
