Media accreditation has opened for the 13th session of the World Urban Forum, the United Nations’ flagship conference on sustainable urban development, which will be held in Baku from 17 to 22 May 2026.
The event, known as WUF13, will focus on the theme 'Housing for All: Safe and Sustainable Cities and Settlements.'
The Azerbaijan Operational Company for WUF13 said all media accreditation must be completed exclusively through the official UN-Habitat online registration system.
Accreditation is limited to journalists and media representatives formally registered in United Nations member states. All applications will be subject to review, with successful applicants receiving an official confirmation letter.
Organisers said the forum would serve as a global platform for dialogue on sustainable urban development, allowing accredited media to cover high-level discussions, panels and initiatives aimed at advancing inclusive and resilient cities.
Over six days, WUF13 will host hundreds of events, including opening and closing ceremonies, assemblies, policy dialogues, special sessions, roundtables and an expanded Urban Expo.
The forum will also be preceded by a high-level segment on the New Urban Agenda.
Further details and registration guidance are available on the official WUF13 website.
