350 Barcelona Update (+ Video)

Kate R.

The last official UN negotiating session prior to climate talks in Copenhagen this December, has been taking place in Barcelona this week.

Some of the 350 crew are over there ensuring delegates from around the world are aware of their cause and the aims of the organization. Their actions are also keeping up the momentum created by the hugely successful climate action day in October.

350 have a display situated in the central square of the conference venue displaying photos from their previous events. According to their newsletter, repsonse from delegates has been positive.

Teresa Nino, of 350 says:

"Delegates from 181 nations know that citizens from their countries took part in the International Day of Climate Action... they've been coming up to us to tell us about what went on in their nations.

"We've been handing out 350 neckties and they've become the must-have souvenir for every hard-working negotiator--at least the ones who want real progress".
