UNEA-7 is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for all participants.
During UNEA-7
Venue
The United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) has accessible routes, ramps and wheelchair-friendly entrances across the complex. Maps showing accessible routes are available on the event website, mobile app and most information points throughout the venue.
Transport on campus
Vehicles and shuttle services will operate on campus for participants who requested vehicular assistance in the registration form. Accessible drop-off points will be provided where feasible.
Meeting rooms and seating
Wheelchair-accessible seating will be arranged to ensure participants using mobility aids can sit with their delegations and support persons. Staff at the complex will also assist with wayfinding and seating adjustments.
Hearing and communications support
Real-time captioning in English will be provided, on the screens inside the Conference Room, for official plenary meetings of UNEA and during the National Statements sessions. In addition, closed captions will be available (in English) on all recorded UN Web TV streaming videos. Please note that the UN Web TV closed captions are auto-generated and may contain errors.
