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.

Terrorist threats from Greenpeace- and their position on China.

There were threats from Greenpeace that unless France started to act green, then 'watch out for your nuclear plants, they are within our range'.
Greenpeace supports China's proposal but says 'it needs to be polished'. Greenpeace also wanted to remind the French government that they should be aware that in France there roughly 16% of European Parliament's vote in France were for the French Green Party.

This outspoken account from a leading green NGO highlights the distance between France's ruling elite and the general electorate, fueling further civil unrest.
