This year’s UN climate negotiations have once again deadlocked. Negotiators and observers in the hall are concerned that this meeting could end with no outcome, much like the long-stalled Doha trade negotiations.
Parties were wrapping up their discussion on the Durban Platform text. While there is still some fine-tuning to do, it looks like most parties agree to it, and it will go forward to the full body for approval. While it would be much better to see recommendation of more concrete steps moving forward, especially under the second work-stream, the current outcome is predictable given the very limited discussion of measures to increase ambition that were made in this body since Durban.
At this point, predictions are that the endgame in Doha will likely go well into tomorrow afternoon local time.
