Chair looking into a "great future worth saving" - we wonder if the @ChangeSids are equally optimistic. #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

That's the end of #negot2018 for today, sadly, some crucial clauses have failed to be negotiated due to lack of time mostly caused by @OPEC_UN_Simu . Clauses have been weakened almost into oblivion, but maybe the document can still be a stepping stone for multilateral cooperation

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

@LDCs2019 We hope so! We want a satisfactory agreement for the millions who are vulnerable because of the consequences of climate change. #negot2018 #SystemChangeNotClimateChange

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Decisive moments at the conference now...

@BASIC29678203 @TWT_Austria We regret that we have to fall back on more traditional means of communication due to our online communication channels being compromised by certain online platforms. The truth needs to get out there! #freepress #negot2018

1/2 Costa Rican @AILAC5 representative is critical about the 1,5°C target not being more present in the negotiations. Costa Rica has reached its goal of 100% renewable energy in 2015 and is a model country in this respect, calling for others to follow their example #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Representative of the Maldives @ChangeSids also states that the capitalist system is "outdated" and doubts significant progress on climate change mitigation can be reached as long as lobbies have more power than the people. #systemchangenotclimatechange #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

For the representative of Maldives @ChangeSids , the 1,5°C target is a "red line". He fears it is "unlikely that we will be able to survive on our own land" and emphasizes that "a huge transformation" is needed #systemchangenotclimatechange #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

@AILAC5 2/2 The @AILAC5 representative noted the fact that each country was mostly concerned with their own convenience, calling their fellow nation representatives in a polite, but firm manner to be more flexible and to "care a bit more" for the wider issues. #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

@ChangeSids 2/2 Meanwhile Costa Rica representative @AILAC5 is more content with final formulation, stating it is a statement of "common sense" everyone can agree on #negot2015

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

1/2 Speaking with participants of the negotiation committee on multilateral agreements, we got some exclusive insights on the process. Maledives @ChangeSids representative says OPEC group was "blocking the negotiation process" and the final formulations are "weak" #negot2018

#servicetweet : No toilet paper in the ladies' room! Take your tissues with you! #sisterhood #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Saudi Arabia @OPEC_UN_Simu still not ready to endorse the 1,5°C target and the findings by the IPCC Russia @umbrellagroup5 sides with Saudi Arabia. #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

The 1,5°C target is back in the environmental migration agreement! Timeframe to pursue efforts sadly set to 2050 instead of 2030, as expected. Is it here to stay? #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Mexico of @EIG_negot2019 is the only country opposing the power of individual national states distinguishing between legal and illegal immigrants at their leisure! We respect the Mexican representatives courage in standing up for this cause! #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Israel representative @umbrellagroup5 voices concern over not getting enough attention #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Did the chair just say "you will discuss this ETERNALLY between yourselves?" #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

Are countries objecting strategically to certain clauses now to be part of the committees? #politicalmoves #negot2018

[Unity Press @unitypress_nc]

@TWT_Austria It is stated very clearly in the IPCC 1,5°C report what we will have to do to keep this planet inhabitable for humans. Only by keeping the global temperature rise above 1,5°C can we limit mass displacement. You need only read it. #systemchangenotclimatechange #negot2018
