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.

BREAKING NEWS: Hurricane Mercedes hits Germany, killing 118.

This is the first time in history we have seen such a powerful hurricane in Europe: a fact scientists attribute to the increase in temperature in the air near the Earth's surface. The powerful hurricane swept its path of destruction across southern Germany, devastating the Baden-Württemberg region, bringing the German auto industry to it's feet as the BMW and Daimler plants were destroyed.


Mr Jalal Koubaiti, German auto-mobile tycoon, has a residence in Stuttgart, and it has been confirmed that his family are among those who have died in this freak weather event. Mr Koubaiti, who is currently at the UNFCCC negotiations in Barcelona, has been informed. He was delayed at the UNFCCC negotiations because of the funeral.
