Transport for COP 14 participants
On 1-12 December 2008, about 8,000 participants in the 14th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention to Climate Change, along with the 4th Session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, will arrive in Poznań. In order to assist them in moving around in Poznań and make it easier for them to reach the venue of the Conference, the City Office, in consultation with the Ministry of the Environment, plans a number of measures:
- free of charge public transport within the City for the Conference participants (using an identification badges);
- the adaptation of the travel routes to the needs of the Conference participants (increasing the number of connections between the airport and the centre of the City, including paid ones, enhancing the number of connections between the largest hotels and the Conference site during the opening and closure of the sessions).
More information about public transport system (MPK) in Poznan is available on the website: http://www.poznan.pl/mim/public/turystyka/pages.html?id=1062&instance=1017&lang=en&lhs=transport and the timetables.

HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE TO MINISTERS
Having in mind that delegations that are not assisted by their diplomatic missions in Poland would face certain difficulties in providing adequate transportation for their ministers attending the High-Level Segment, the host country will be able to provide limited support in this regard thanks to the eco-cars fleet available during the Conference. The vehicles dedicated for this purpose are hydrogen and CNG (liquid gas) ones to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the event. A mobile hydrogen filling station will be located on the Poznan International Fair grounds next to the parking area (outside UN zone). Those who are interested what kind of advanced technology is used for this purpose are welcome to visit the filling station during the Conference.
The transportation for ministers between place of stay and Conference venue will be provided upon request on a daily basis. Please note that due to limited number of cars available, the vehicles can not be allocated permanently to specific delegation for the whole HLS period. Therefore we kindly ask you for understanding and flexibility while submitting transportation requests. Such service will be provided as a first-come first-serve on a daily basis. The delegations are kindly requested to contact the transportation service desk located in Hall 15 (level A) for more details and arrangements. You may find the location of the transportation desk in participants guide available for download from UNFCCC website here.
