The longest COP ever in ten years...COP19 in Warsaw ends with 21h late, with Low ambitions but High risks. Countries have been exposed at the climate negotiations, in Warsaw, as beholden to vested interests, such as the dirty fossil fuel lobby, after they once again missed an opportunity to put the world on a pathway to securing a comprehensive climate action plan in 2015. At the time when climate impacts are hitting communities around the world, we have seen the true nature of international climate politics: economic interests keen to maintain the status quo have been the hand pulling the puppet strings of governments in these negotiations. Up to Peru and France to bring back some more confidence. See you in Lima....
