Climate Talks
Inside the last few hours of COP
Everywhere you turn, faces are fraught with anxiety. For the most part, that anxiety has to do with the implications of the outcome, but it also has something to do with the fear of being compromised. One negotiator says whatever you say and to whom at this stage might land you in an awkward, and even compromising, position. At the media centre, the hub of global reporting on this climate conference, things are orbiting a different course. While other places are quieter and more deserted, things are just starting to come alive, and even get charged.
