COP 27 Meeting Notes

As many RINGOs are not able to attend COP 26 or not able to attend sessions they are interested in, we appreciate submission of notes by our RINGO members who are in attendance.  Notes can be sent to  notes@ringofocalpoint.org.

Please use the following guidelines when sending notes:
**Send in pdf format
**include the name and institution of the notetaker
**include the session attended – agenda item, day and time

An effort is made to post notes quickly.  Notes are the product of the author and are not reviewed by RINGO.  Please excuse any errors or inconsistencies. Please find notes sorted by UNFCCC body and agenda item, in chronological order.

COP 27 – Meeting Notes

GST Mandated Events – Compilation Notes of TD1.2 Opening and Closing Plenaries, Round Tables, and CG meetings by RINGO nominees to TD 1.2:

  • Cindy Isenhour, University of Maine (RT1 on mitigation)
  • Emilie Beauchamp, IISD (RT2 on adaptation)
  • Jennifer Huang, C2ES (RT3 on implementation)
  • Tracy Bach, Washington University in St Louis (RT4 focused exchanges)

RINGO nominees to the first GST Technical Dialogue were selected from an open call made over the RINGO listserv.  Given that the UNFCCC Secretariat and GST Co-Facilitators emphasized the importance of continuity in attending all GST sessions, applicants who committed to attending all GST events were prioritized. 

For improved continuity, the RINGO Steering Committee chose to renominate all/most of the GST TD 1.1 nominees to GST TD 1.2.
