Over forty CEMS Masters in International Management students gathered in Barcelona from 19-20 May 2011 for the third annual CEMS Model UNFCCC. The block seminar is the culmination of a Climate Change Strategy Roleplay course, which involves students from the University of St Gallen, ESADE Barclona, the Warsaw School of Economics and the University of Cologne. oikos Student Reporters blogged live from the negotiations to demonstrate the role of the mass media.

The output document of the model, which was not adopted in the final vote, is available here.

For more information about the CEMS Model UNFCCC organisers, please see the Institute for Economy and the Environment at the University of St Gallen.

Angela Merkel calls back her delegate

Great surprise in the EU coalition! The German representative in the mitigation group agreed to support extending the use of nuclear power. Is it a sign that influences of France are growing in the EU group?
The latest anti-nuclear protests in Germany showed that the society is strongly against this source of energy. More than 100,000 anti-nuclear protesters demonstrated across Germany. Angela Merkel had bo choice but to call back the delegate who agreed to voted for the nuclear power plants.
