What type of negotiator are you?

Our UK tracker is hoping her negotiators didn’t pick their specialisms from a magazine quiz, as she gives us the low down on what different roles there are on a negotiating team.
The Class of 2010.

Copenhagen seems to have served as a graduation ceremony for many, so where does that leave us in the negotiations?
Why Anna? WHY? (or…Back to the UN. Part 1)

Our UK tracker was never the biggest fan of the UNFCCC….so why is she heading back to Bonn in a few days time? One reason, of course, is the tracker team who have gone through this all together and constantly found ways to have fun. But there must be more than that!

What a difference a week makes……

So Bonn III is over, the end of another set of negotiations and the time has come to look at exactly what has been achieved over the last week. Have we had any progress on getting the unwieldy 192 page negotiating text, down to something we can start to work with? Have we seen [...]
Small step or giant leap?

First of all I would like to start with an apology for the lateness of this blog on the G8. Since Bonn I have actually been in Kenya.
I’m working on my masters research (on climate change communication and advocacy) along with joining up with the amazing young people from the African Youth Initiative on Climate [...]
Gordon's vision for Copenhagen

“There are very few moments in history when nations are summoned to common decisions that will reshape the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet for generations to come. When leaders have to consider not just what will deliver fairness in their generation, but fairness between the generations too.”
These were the opening [...]
A White Rabbit Morning!

One thing I’ve learnt about the negotiations during the last week is that they never start on time! I’m currently sat in the main plenary hall waiting for a session to start, it’s 10:30am and the session was scheduled to start at 10am!
But I guess what’s a half hour here or there, it’s only our [...]
Not Just A Line Of Text…

So as I mentioned earlier, at yesterday’s meeting with Jan I was given the time to ask a question. Since the previous 40 minutes had been filled with very intense policy discussion I really didn’t think it was needed, or my place to continue this discussion.
So instead I asked Jan…
How old will you be in [...]
Why do I never hear a British accent in Plenary?
Posted on 04. Jun, 2009 by annac in Adopt a Negotiator, Uncategorized, United Kingdom
It’s actually really hard to be the UK tracker, or for that matter any of the EU trackers. That’s because the EU negotiates as a block. What that means is, that during the negotiations you will only ever see one country speak on behalf of the whole EU. Presently this is the Czech Republic, as [...]
