Climate Change Negotiation

On Monday 15th November all our Upper Schoolroom students took part in a Climate Change Negotiation Simulation exercise. Representing just 10 countries (the real COP26 involved 195 countries). After a series of time-pressured activities they finally made pledges on the future of their greenhouse gas emissions and their contributions to the Green Climate Fund (a pot of money to help countries deal with the impacts of climate change and also to make the move to low carbon economies) See attached image.

Although their pledges fell short of the desired targets on both measures the delegates chose to accept them in the final vote. As a learning experience it certainly showed how difficult solving global scale problems can be and encouraged our students to put pressure on the government to keep working hard on their climate change commitments. Well done to all those involved.
