European visa obstacles exclude many from UN climate talks

Representatives of some of the world's poorest countries have been excluded from the UN climate change negotiations underway in Poland because of delays getting visas, which occurred despite the host country and the Schengen region having a full year to prepare its consulates.

This has hindered efforts to secure a fair global agreement because national negotiators, journalists and civil society representatives from some of nations most vulnerable to climate change have had their arrival in Poland delayed by several days or have been unable to attend at all.
