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.

Russia, not only fossil fuels but also...


... for the second time in the history, the Fossil-of-the-Day Award goes to Russia.

"They were not only late for the negotiations. Their administration simply ignored us. What is more they were not attending the adaptation group and we really need their voice!"
/a few anonymous delegates*/

*Some delegates decided to stay anonymous being afraid of possible consequences for their countries.

    Yesterday Gazprom representative stated that they have money and power, so they can influence on every decision taken. They also mentioned that they might not negotiate. It seems that Russia has nothing to say!
