Finding the right room…10/12/08. Our first full day in Poznan is at an end. We know how to get to the Conference centre (by hybrid bendy bus) and how to get around the venue (each meeting room is a designated animal) we had meetings in the Ermine, Woodpecker and Lynx rooms. My favorite room was the bat! We still have not seen the centre of Poznan yet, maybe we will find time tomorrow.
Seriously though, Members are beginning to arrive. We met a US Republican Congressman who was not too positive about the possibility of having a global ‘cap and trade’ system. We also met representatives from the FAO who were in Poznan to push for agriculture in the climate change agreements as global populations will increase and more food will be needed. However, on the issue of biofuels, the FAO could not provide solutions to the dilemma of land use for more food or more biofuels.
After a busy day which ended in the EU pavilion, the joint EP/Presidency/Commission event on the EU climate change package was full! Clearly events in Brussels are very much in the thoughts of delegates here in Poznan… J.W.
