Dear colleagues,
The Earth Negotiations Bulletin team has published a new Climate Negotiations Glossary with clear, concise definitions of key terms and acronyms used in UNFCCC talks and beyond—just as the Bonn Climate Change Conference gets underway.
If your students sometimes get lost in the acronyms and jargon of climate change talks, I’d recommend sharing this resource with them and bookmarking this page: https://www.iisd.org/articles/deep-dive/climate-negotiations-glossary
Also, be sure to check out our guide for negotiators at climate COPs: On Behalf of My Delegation: https://www.iisd.org/books/on-behalf-my-delegation-second-edition
