 Today is Wednesday, the 8th of November. It's the third day of COP23. I've spent the last day and a half in the Bula Zone, which is where the main COP negotiations have taken place. And I've now come to the Bond Zone where there's much more excitement. All the civil society groups have goods and stalls and pavilions and lots of things going on here. There's a lot more energy here than there is in the Bula Zone. Nevertheless, in the negotiations, they have just started the negotiations under the presidency of PG. They've agreed on the agenda, the planning for the first week and then what happens in the second week. As predicted, the issue of loss and damage has become a highlight of the issue. Developing countries pushing for opening up a work plan and inserting innovative finance into that work plan. There's resistance from developed countries for doing that. There's also a lot of interest in the side events on the issue of loss and damage. I participated in two side events, one yesterday and one today. Sharing experiences from countries, particularly these developed countries, and I shared the experience about that. We are going to do another side event on loss and damage later this week ourselves, looking at the potential natural mechanisms on loss and damage. And then on the weekend, Saturday, Sunday, we'll all be participating in the two days development and climate days event that IID organizes every year at a different hotel than you outside the mall, which we hope will be interesting and exciting and also full of energy. Unlike public negotiations, which seem to be at a very low energy level here and I don't understand why, but I'm struck by the level of non-interest and anxiety amongst the delegates that I'm meeting here. I seem to be quite bored with what's going on here. So I'll continue giving my video logs, if I can, every day, but at least every other day here, over the course of the next week and a half. I won't always be talking about the negotiations, because they're moving at quite a slow pace. But I will talk about some of the other events that I'm participating in, particularly the DNC.
