Lost the plot or?

Start of week 2 and reports indicate the waiting times at Bella centre have been getting longer. Late afternoon indications are that they have closed registration and will reduce NGO’s to 7000 individual max tomorrow, so the queues should be interesting…as of Thursday only about 100 NGO individuals will get in. Add to that the rumour that they are anticipating the high level segment will last until Sunday! So we continue to see pressure (both G77 and Annex I countries walked out of different meetings today but they have all reconvened behind closed doors) and focus but also an increasing sense of frustrating and confusion.

So I took the opportunity to keep warm (rather then shivering in the queue at Bella Centre) by attending a set of discussions focusing on developments in USA, the CDM challenges and post 2012 framework. Very much these issues depend on the outcome from Copenhagen. But with or without a Copenhagen deal we will see change, development and a lot of opportunities, as well as fragmentation in developments and actions. We as individuals need some certainty to be able to plan and take action. Let’s hope we get certainty by Sunday.
