Daily Tck – December 3rd
Posted on 04. Dec, 2010 by adoptanegotiator in Daily Tck
Every day during the Cancun climate talks, The TckTckTck campaign hosts an open meeting for people to discuss areas of concern and opportunity, and for people & organizations to collaborate on taking action. The following is based on that meeting.
by Paul Horsman, Global Campaign for Climate Action
Summary of the Current status/situation
As government ministers start to arrive in Cancun we are reaching the end of the first week of negotiations and the pressure is on deliver substantive outcomes. A new text is expected to be ready for them on Saturday, prepared by the working groups’ Chairs under the guidance of the Mexican Chair, but all eyes today are on the Kyoto Protocol.
If the ministers are to have something to work with next week and not be given messy text then progress needs to made on the negotiations, but this is not looking hopeful given the bumpy ride Kyoto has received all week Japan’s hard line against a 2nd commitment period. NGOs continue to demonstrate our “love and support for the KP” and are encouraging the EU, Germany, Australia and other friends of the KP to step up their game today and wrap their arms around the KP.
What is happening?
Oxfam released a report titled ‘More than ever: climate talks that work for those that need them most’. There is a breakdown of the countries to watch over the remaining week or so — the ‘movers and the shakers’ and an analysis of why the UNFCCC remains THE place for an international agreement.
Meanwhile, the climate negotiators hit the beach today only to stick their heads in the sand

Message for the day
Make Kyoto work – tell the EU and friends of Kyoto, wrap your arms around the Kyoto protocol.
