Step into the negotiating room with CB4N

How does a climate negotiation work in practice? On 14 November, the Capacity Building for Negotiators (CB4N) Interactive Negotiation Lab will offer a practical opportunity for new and emerging negotiators to explore these dynamics through an interactive negotiation simulation during COP31.

In the event, organized by the UNFCCC secretariat and its Regional Collaboration Centres (RCCs), participants will explore the procedures of multilateral climate negotiations, including how negotiating groups present their positions, and explore possible negotiation outcomes.
