TRACKING NEGOTIATIONS

The climate system is being/has continuously been robbed and rapped turn after turn by several unsustainable human activities. That was why article 1 of UNFCCC attributed climate change to human activities distinguishing between climate change attributable to human activities altering the atmospheric composition, and climate variability attributable to natural causes. UNFCCC is saddled with the responsibility of seeking means of protecting the climate system in accordance with the Kyoto protocol through non legal binding treaty on individual countries to ensure adequate care and cure of the climate system through negotiations with parties. In these negotiations consensus are diplomatically reached, Parties aim to protect their various interests in climate discussions sometimes making negotiations very difficult, but the climate system must be protected because of its benevolence on us by providence. Negotiations on climate issues are usually tinged with several interest and notions hence further negotiations upon negotiations on issues before ratifications. There is usually a need to convince and persuade negotiators by organizers, scholars and fellow negotiators on issues germane to protecting the climate and it impacts which may be at variance with party’s interest. Sometimes, there may be a need to sacrifice interest, a need to cede grounds, a need to formulated and reformulate policies and a need for financial commitment among other needs but most importantly a need to track negotiations which is much needed at this time especially when decision by negotiators affects us all. We must follow and track negotiations contrary or for us at all levels, the youths have a key role to play in this regards because being a leader starts now not tomorrow again. Youths have a key position to assume in discourses on climate change so that our present needs will be met without compromising our future. ALL ROADS LEADS TO WARSAW TO TRACK NEGOTIATIONS.
