COP23
narrative and key messages
The
key
messages and toplines
are meant to guide the framing of this COP and highlight priorities from civil
society to use in media interactions and press briefings in order to shape the
media narrative and strengthen our public messaging.
The
Annual
Policy Document: Pacific COP- Solidarity to Action
outlines
the policy priorities of different working groups of CAN. These will inform how
we advocate during the COP on specific agenda issues. Working Groups will also
draft key messages and talking points as the negotiations progress.
Pre-COP23
CAN Tele-Press Briefing CAN
organised a pre-COP
press briefing
on Wednesday, 01 November at 12:00 GMT. This was intended to set expectations
for the COP and highlight civil society priorities. The panelists included: Keya
Chatterjee, USCAN Sven Harmeling, CARE International, Krishneil Narayan,
PICAN.
The objective is to use social media channels to disseminate our key asks and messages, provide updates on the progress of the negotiations and bring stories from the COP to our digital followers. We ask you to join our efforts to use social media to enhance our presence at COP23. Please follow and retweet from @CANIntl and @Fossiloftheday
On this folder where you can find templates, GIFs, videos and photos to be shared on social media. This will be updated daily during the COP and shared on the lists along with suggested tweets for the day.
Here is a list of people, organisations and journalists to follow and tag during COP23. (This is a crowd-sourced list, so please add to it!) You can find suggested hashtags and tweets on this document
Press briefings at Press Room 2 Bula Zone
Each day of the COP, CAN has a press room booked for 30 mins at the timings below: 06-Nov Opening presser at 10:30 07-Nov-11-Nov 11:30 13-Nov and 16-Nov 12:00 14-Nov and 15-Nov 11:30 17-Nov Closing presser 16:00 (depends on when the outcome is called) Please check the daily CAN morning email for any changes. Questions will be taken only from media and the livestream link will be shared on social media and CAN lists. The panellists for the CAN press briefings are selected from CAN members. The process for selection is through discussions at the PCG+ and the CAN comms meetings. A list of available spokespersons is here. If you would like to add your name, please do so. Following the press briefing, a short press release will be prepared to share with media.
As a reminder, CAN members agree to withhold from publicly judging the final outcome of the session until the beginning of the final CAN press conference. The director decides when the final outcome is apparent. Please see the Communications Guidelines.
CAN comms meetings at 12:30 The CAN comms meeting will be held at 12:30 each day and the venue will be communicated at the strategy session and on emails each day. To subscribe to the CAN comms list, please sign up here. A typical agenda for the meeting will be to debrief on the press conference, select topics and speakers for the next days briefings, go over the messaging and talking points, and AOB. Media training and FAQs on media briefings In order to get more of our members interested in participating at press briefings and media outreach CAN is organising two media training sessions on the Tuesdays of the COP, i.e, 07 November and 14 November at the ENGO Room (Bula Zone) at 14:00. The sessions are for those relatively new at speaking to media and at press briefings and who would like to learn more about this. We specifically invite women from global South countries who are usually underrepresented at our briefings and on our spokespersons’ list. There are 15 slots in each session. If you would like to register, please fill this form. Also, here is an FAQ on preparing for media briefings. For more information, email Dharini Parthasarathy, dparthasarathy@climatenetwork.org
