Dear colleagues, I hope our ENB reporting is helping you to follow the negotiations at COP 28. Please tune into the mid-COP webinar Jen Allan sent a message about earlier today! I am writing about an additional IISD resource for those interested in the climate change negotiation process. We have just launched a guidebook for new climate negotiators. Co-authored by Joyeeta Gupta and Jennifer Allan, this practical manual explains the substance and procedures of climate talks, mixing theory with proven tips, ideas with material for further research, and words with figures. All the best for a successful end to COP and your semesters! Lynn
A survival guide for new and lonely climate change negotiators [image: Earth Negotiations Bulletin] <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-l-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-r/> [image: On Behalf of My Delegation] <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-l-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-y/> *Survival guide for new and lonely climate change negotiators* Climate negotiations continue at the same unrelenting pace as the climate impacts they hope to avert. There is a clear need to support negotiators who are overwhelmed by the complexity of both the subject and the negotiation process. This “survival guide” exists to empower those individuals—whether they are primarily meteorologists, environmentalists, policymakers and scientists, who must don the garb of a “negotiator” at the talks or professional negotiators with little understanding of the variety of issues that arise in a climate change negotiation. This practical manual explains the substance and procedures of climate talks, mixing theory with proven tips, ideas with material for further research, and words with figures. Written by Joyeeta Gupta (co-chair of UNEP’s Global Environment Outlook-6) and Jennifer Allan (Earth Negotiations Bulletin team leader) with special consideration for negotiators from the Global South—who arrive at climate COPs with fewer resources and colleagues than the delegations of the Global North—but with accessible definitions and advice for all, this second edition of *On Behalf of My Delegation* ensures negotiators are equipped to make an impact in negotiations for our very survival. *Read the second edition of <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-l-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-j/>On Behalf of My Delegation... <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-l-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-j/>* [image: ENB Logo] <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-l-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-t/> * Share <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-fb-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-i/>* * Tweet <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-tw-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-d/>* * Share <https://iisd.cmail19.com/t/i-li-aidjtkk-yuklhturhj-h/>* * Forward <https://iisd.forwardtomyfriend.com/i-yuklhturhj-ADA46B43-aidjtkk-l-k>* International Institute for Sustainable Development -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
