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.

Chinese forcing Tuvalu to 'sign own death warrant'


China's static stance in the negotiations is causing increasing frustration within the AOSIS and Swiss delegations. China has been very unwilling to commit to emissions reductions, citing high growth as the principle reason. They currently propose to peak emissions in 2030.

Citizens of Tuvalu are being offered a safe haven in Australia, but Grenada insists they do not want to be refugees. Grenada will not sign the proposal as it stands, as they claim it will 'sign their own death warrant', and Switzerland supports this decision.
