 Today is Monday the 13th of November, it's the second week of the COP and the ministers have started arriving and we move into the political sessions. Last week we didn't have a great deal of progress, there was some progress but as always the technical negotiators can only negotiate up to a certain point after that decisions on making compromises to agree with other countries requires political leadership so that's what the ministers will do once they arrive here and so this week we hope that the ministers will be able to come to a decision. In the meantime we had our two-day weekend event on Saturday and Sunday which is called Development and Climate Days which IID has been doing for many years where we try to bring together all the people at the COP who actually work on the ground on particularly working with the vulnerable communities and try to help them adapt to the impact of climate change and build resilience. So that event went very well, we had record numbers of people attending, we even had to turn people away because there were so many and we had a very lively discussion and tried to now bring some of those messages into the COP process and formal negotiations but that's not an easy task, the formal negotiations are extremely rigid and were bogged down in commas and words for hours, it doesn't open itself to practical discussions about what to do but nevertheless we will keep trying and supporting the work of the least developed country negotiators in that so I'll report back on what the political leaders are able to do later on this week.
