 Aloha Namaskar and hello. This is Anu Hitto reporting 5 Minutes at 5. This is day 4 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Conference of the Parties, COP 22 or COP Vendu as they say here in Marrakech, Morocco. I'm sitting here in one of the plenary rooms where most of the results get reported. This is where the ministers and the heads of state report or really they actually renew their commitments to the Paris Agreement. This COP 22 has been one that is not as exciting perhaps as the others in such as the one in Paris and the one in Copenhagen many years before that. This is really one of the smaller COPs in the sense that it's a real workhorse of a COP. So the parties get together, they negotiate, their negotiators come in, they're talking about how do they provide procedures for the rules for the climate agreement, for the Paris Agreement. So this is something that we've been working on for 22, 25 years now and finally we have the Paris Agreement where all countries have agreed to do something about climate change. However, perhaps there was a little bit of a shock that went through this little smaller COP after last week's elections and one of the things that's happened of course is people are wondering, countries are wondering is the United States going to pull out of the Paris Agreement and what does that mean for climate action all over the world. So one thing that is heartening, one of the chief negotiators here said that it's heartening to see that countries have decided to stay the course regardless of what happens and of course what will actually happen remains to be seen. We don't know what President-elect Trump will do. However, it does make some sense that there is a talk of clubs, of many agreements perhaps, regional agreements or agreements where countries that are similarly involved such as China, India, Brazil, those countries might make their own separate agreements that would then dovetail into the Paris Agreement. So there are all kinds of combinations possible at this point. Also looking at perhaps using some of the provisions of the Paris Agreement and putting it into trade agreements that are being signed and into investment agreements. So all is not lost and for many people here who have been, top veterans, they feel that four years really is not such a long time. So that was sort of heartening to see perhaps the mood has lifted a little and or maybe we're just getting used to the new reality. But the problem of course is no one knows what is going to happen with someone who doesn't have a track record in politics such as Donald Trump. So anyway, this is something that we will stay the course and I would say that along with Secretary Kerry, yesterday and various people here today, the feeling very much is that this will go on with or without the U.S.'s involvement in the Paris Agreement that things are already set in motion where we will be very much, it would be very difficult to disentangle from it. So that's really been the main news here today and aside from the sort of slow plotting along of negotiations and setting procedures for rules, there really hasn't been a whole lot else happening in terms of the actual negotiations. However, there are plenty of side events, there are all kinds of things going on, people talking about renewable energy, talking about technology, talking about finance, talking about climate justice. So there are lots of things going on, about 25,000 people over here. So that's about double what was there more than double of what was at the World Conservation Congress in Honolulu a couple of months ago. So once again, this is Anu Hital, five minutes at five and hoping to stay the course with some of these fighting words that really four years is not a long time, we've seen worse. So fingers crossed and we're charging right along over here at the climate conference. We'll see you again tomorrow, five minutes at five. Aloha Namaskar.
