An update from us at COPWATCH, on the final day of COP11.

COP business
The Journal shows that discussions are ongoing today for  items 4.4 and 4.5. As we have been reporting this week, those are both highly controversial.  Will COP manage to reach consensus on those today? 

Since yesterday, it appears that there has been a decision on Article 18 (environment).   It looks as though we’ll have to wait until COP has ended to see the final decisions. 

Some livestreaming is expected today, but it will be dull set piece stuff. The asterisks on the provisional agenda denote what will be streamed:

There’s also a ‘hybrid’ press conference today, at 14.00 CET. We don’t know if that will be accessible to everyone, or just the registered media.

GATC’s effort includes their usual regret at Parties not just going along with what they want, expressed in the usual kindergarten teacher tone. And, of course, the awards: 

Having championed harm reduction in their opening statement, St Kitts and Nevis have clearly continued their good work behind the closed doors of the committees.

We may issue another update later – but, if not, we’ll be back another time soon.
