1. RINGO Constituency meetings:
Ringo will meet each morning beginning Monday April 30 during SB 48 at 9:00 AM in Meeting Room Berlin. These daily meetings are intended to provide a platform of discussion about the ongoing negotiations, as well as facilitate networking and give the opportunity to share research results
Constituency meetings are not posted on the daily schedule after the first day, but the date and time remain the same unless otherwise indicated.
2. Briefings with observer organizations:
Briefings with observer organizations will be posted as details are confirmed.
Constituency Focal Point meeting
- Date: Wednesday, 9 May 2018
- Time: 15:00-16:00
- Venue: Wien 3
Note: Focal points only.
3. APA Informals
The APA negotiations are currently in informal consultations. To attend them, observers must have tickets distributed through their constituency focal points, unless the informal is taking place in Chamber Hall. (No tickets are required for Chamber Hall.) If you are a RINGO member and desire to attend an APA informal consultation that requires a ticket, please attend the RINGO coordination meeting held every morning of SB48 from 9-10am in room Berlin. The RINGO focal points distribute tickets at the close of these meetings. If you do not receive a ticket, you may read the notes taken by your RINGO colleagues at the notes page link below.
4. Meeting notes from constituency members:
It is impossible to be everywhere during COP. To support one another, RINGO members are often willing to share notes from meetings they attend. Please email notes that you are able to contribute to wustl@ringofocalpoint.org and vls@ringofocalpoint.org. Meeting notes will be posted on the notes page as they become available.
5. Side events and exhibits:
Note: Because of the large number of side events and exhibits organized by our members, we are unable to promote individual side events on this page. Please see the UNFCCC side events webpage for a schedule of side events and the UNFCCC exhibits page for a list of exhibits.
