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: No agreement signed.

No agreement was signed. No Protocol, no Accord, nothing. 40 delegates flew to Barcelona, emitting hundreds of tonnes of dioxide and spending over 100 days worth of their time (in total), for an session which had no agreement at all. 

Even Copenhagen was better than this.

    It is not true completely though...
    We had a great deal, what was torpedoed by two tiny states. It would be nice to see here the final results, what we worked for two days, but unfortunately was not accepted.
