    UNFCCC Gone Wild: Cancun Edition

    Yesterday, the UNFCCC shut down: Civil society, youth organizations, indigenous peoples, jourmalists

    Not only did they pull permitted actions at the last minute this week, they confiscated badges of people expressing their analyses of the Climate Change Negotiations, they confiscated badges of people filming and photographing UN security abuses. Finally, yesterday, they also wrestled down Reuters reporter Jorge Silva and others who were blocking exit from the plenary session.

    What are they afraid of?

    There can be no real consensus if the world's peoples are shut out of the negotiations, nor if the media are not allowed to operate as is their role, in these arenas.
