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.

Swiss press statement


"The Swiss delegation is highly disappointed with the EU representatives' action of declaring lack of cooperation to the public media before consulting with the relevant involved parties. It now doubts the EU's devotion to the alliance with Switzerland and to the common goals of striving for a binding agreement to emission reductions and the "2 degrees Celsius" target.
Switzerland would also like to apologize for any aggression expressed in the former meeting, and would like to express its appreciation to the Chinese delegation's willingness to make compromises in promoting the global target of sustainable growth. It is highly looking forward to reaching an agreement."

/Ms Lital Shlimovich, Switzerland/
