Day 6: updates, a brief history of COP15 & a theme song

OK, it’s been a bit of a confusing week. All the new eyes on this process are trying to wrap their heads around the sea of acronyms to understand what’s actually going on. For the benefit of all of you who have lives outside of the Copenhagen Climate Talks (it’s been a long week), we wanted to offer an explanation of the biggest news coming out of COP15 at the moment… Tuvalu, and the suspension of COP and CMP.

First, we’re going to start you off with a little piece of music sent to Ole on his way here. The talented Rob Longstaff submitted this bit of theme music to keep us going through the COP (and beyond). We seriously dig. Enjoy:

OK, now we’re ready. Phil (Australia) and Leela (India) sit down to talk about the issues of the day in greater depth.

Especially for those of you new to the process, here’s our very own Andrea Cinquina, starting from the beginning… with an Italian accent.

Anna has run around Bella Centre trying to catch up with her lead Negotiator Jan.

Rosa gives her view from above the crowds, and offers a bit more on the spit among emerging economies.

Florent gave our camera man a minute of his time to give his French readers a bit of an update

And our Spanish negotiator tracker, Ferran Esteve, checks in on his progress

Stay tuned for a big day tomorrow, as thousands march through the streets of Copenhagen demanding a fair, ambitious and binding deal; thousands more will hold candlelight vigils in their communities around the world (which you can & should participate in); and many of us will be here, inside the Bella Centre, reporting on COP15 develpments… we’ve heard whispers of breakthroughs.
