COP21 Security

UN rejects over 1,000 journalists as COP21 security is tightened

"We had hoped to have some flexibility regarding increased media accreditation for COP21; however, due to overwhelming demand and now facing tighter security in light of recent events, we are sorry to inform you that your application has been declined," the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's press office said in an e-mail sent to journalists today.

 It also advises reporters not to visit the Le Bourget conference center, in northeast Paris, unless they are accredited.
