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.

Negotiations continue through lunch

Canada, the US, France, and Switzerland continued to negotiate over lunch. Canada described themselves as a 'small' country, and continued to argue with Switzerland after the other delegates had given up and gone for lunch.

France told Canada they were threatening the whole negotiations by refusing to cooperate, which Canada strenuously denied.
