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.

Final vote session

Numerous representatives had reservations and questions during the voting. The adaptation group's proposal was accepted by consensus with the additional footnote from Bolivia. However, delegates could not agree to the mitigation proposal. Grenada and Tuvalu proposed to remove the mitigation section from the protocol which was rejected by the President. The countries rejected noting in the protocol that they disagreed with this part.

Having announced the break, President consulted the experts. In the meantime, countries continued discussing proposals. After the technical break, President announced that the protocol will be replaced by non-legally binding call.

The trading part was accepted by consensus. President proposed to take mitigation part as not legally binding ESADE accord which was rejected.
