Hi gep-eders, I’m hoping somebody out there can help me find my way to the official webcast of the opening session of COP23 earlier today (I need it by 3:30pm Eastern Time, USA). The good news is that there are a couple YouTube videos already available (just Google <<cop23 opening plenary>>), so those will do in a pinch, but the official videos have English translation. They are nominally located here <https://unfccc.cloud.streamworld.de/ondemand> (the SBSTA opening and several side events are there now), but the full opening session isn’t yet listed. I’m guessing that I’m missing something simple…can anyone fill me in?
I’m forwarding an email below from 350-Massachusetts on a vigil tonight for “international climate collaboration” as well as statewide efforts—just an example of the local-global nexus.
