Interests:

  • There were LOTS of Civil Society groups from all over the world with displays, talks, events etc outside the venue. There were also public presentations at the venue by representatives from various delegations, displays in the venue halls of what companies and other groups were doing, impacts being felt by people around the world. There were rows of conference rooms with simultaneously scheduled presentations. Each day I would arrive, check the schedule boards, pick the ones that looked interesting to attend. Learned a lot, too. No, I didn't have access to the inner sanctum, but many of the main conference speakers were also shown on large displays in the halls. And for various reasons, occasionally some of the delegates would hold meetings in those conference rooms. (I attended one where UN reps were discussing the difficulties in managing multi-billion dollar green funds - fascinating stuff). COP21 was important, and I was there. COP26 is important, as this is the one where countries have to make commitments to actually follow through. I want to be there. by plughplovery2 (Tue 6th Apr 2021 7:02pm)
  • Yeah, I've been following the news, both Boris's statements, and the planning folk. Decisions pretty much have to be made this month. by plughplovery2 (Tue 6th Apr 2021 7:07pm)
  • I'm amenable to that, as long as 'commute' is relatively convenient public transit. I really don't want to rent a vehicle - that just trades one cost for another. Will check them out. by plughplovery2 (Tue 6th Apr 2021 7:12pm)
  • Hmm. Edinburgh. There's going to be a 'TED summit' there a couple weeks before COP26. (I can't do both, but hmm). Curious as to what 'official website' you are referring to? Link please? by plughplovery2 (Tue 6th Apr 2021 7:48pm)
