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.

Opening Plenary


The adaptation working group chair announced that it is impossible to agree over the number of 1.5 degrees. Therefore, the issue of climate refugees will be discussed. There is a call for all countries joining this comittee as the refugees will have to find new country of residence.

The respective delegate from Brazil (WWT): "This is the last day of the negotiations. My recommendation is to be open-minded, to try to reach the conclusion together. Otherwise, we all loose."

The chair of mitigation working group expressed condolences for the German representative.
