No binding deal is expected from Barcelona’s meeting

Negotiations before Copenhagen’s summit took place last week in a meeting in Barcelona.

We need a “fair, ambitious and binding” deal. However, no such binding deal is expected. It seems that a “politically binding” deal will replace a “legally binding” one.

Word here in the halls at the negotiations is that a politically binding deal amounts to nothing more than greenwashing – a deal that looks good, but does not get us where we need to be if we want to avoid the worst predicted effects of climate change.

Such deal would mean terrifying consequences for our Planet.

I encourage you to read more information on the tcktcktck website.

P.S.: I know that I am writting a lot about climate change and the UN’s conference, but the thing is too important. We will continue informing you of everything related to this apart from our typical topics.

Barcelona’s meeting starts with activists’ actions

The meeting taking place this week in Barcelona is an important one. It is the last chance for the United Nations’ representatives to come to an agreement that will end in a “fair, ambitious and binding deal” in Copenhagen.

Yesterday the talks started. And activists’ protests did the same.

Some people from Greenpeace took down a banner asking “WORLD LEADERS MAKE THE CLIMATE CALL” at the Sacred Family, the most emblematic building in the city. It was not the only one but the most impressive.

Last negotiations before Copenhagen are taking place in Barcelona

The December’s United Nations’ meeting on Climate Change in Copenhagen is a meeting that has been prepared in the last few years.

Before the important meeting in Copenhagen, United Nations are taking a last meeting in Barcelona so that the delegates can concrete some technical aspects for Copenhagen’s summit. They are meeting this week, from 2nd to 6th November.

It’s not expected that anything new is decided in Barcelona but it is an important event as the next meeting will be in Copenhagen. The last chance for the planet according to lots of people. And, of course, lots of spanish and international organizations are going to act during these days to ask our leaders to reach an agreement. We will continue informing.
