We’ve got your back.
To be exact, Reed Schuler (US), Anna Collins (UK), Leela Raina (India), Cara Bevington (Australia), myself (Canada), Eri Aoki (Japan), Ole Seidenberg (Germany), Andrea Cinquina (Italy), Benoît Kubiak and Florent Baarsh (France), and Jonathan Sundqvist (Sweden) will be watching the delegations of their countries as they negotiate at the United Nations climate talks in Bonn, Germany over the next two weeks, June 2-12.
Why these countries? Because their actions, positions and decision at the United Nations (UN) over the coming weeks have the ability to influence and shift the way in which the world continues to address climate change.
Adopt a Negotiator is a cross-alliance campaign project designed to open international climate negotiations to people around the world. For the first time, individual concerned citizens will be closely following the progress of UN talks and reporting them directly to people around the world who are demanding climate justice.
The project launches at the UN intersessional Bonn 2 with Negotiator Trackers adopting a lead negotiator and negotiating team from key countries in the talks. The Trackers will be watching and monitoring the actions of negotiating teams from Bonn to Copenhagen, aiming to make the world of complex climate negotiations accessible to a global audience.
