The dinner hosted by the Indian delegation offered a great opportunity for delegates to undertake first steps towards gauging their counterparts' views and positions on issues of respective interest.
Notwithstanding countries' conventional takes on the issues at stake, they demonstrated promising willingess to align their positions to reach a mutually beneficial agreement on the days to come.
In an attempt to push the negotiation agenda forward, and as a sign of good will, the Chinese industry representative expressed his desire to achieve predictable global legislation - giving countries space to reach common ground in the upcoming negotiations.
On behalf of the G-77, the Sudanese delegate stressed the need for financial transfers from industralized nations towards the LDC in order to achieve a reduction of carbon emissions. Furthermore, she stressed the necessity and urgency of reaching an agreement on enviromental legislation that would mitigate climate change effects in their countries. Nonetheless, several industrial nations promptly expressed concern with these demands, notably on the magnitude of these financial transfers.
Despite promising trends observed during the dinner, civil society organizations openly criticized countries' commitments, arguing they are 'not going far enough'. It is expected that organizations such as Greenpeace will engage in more outspoken protests throughout the negotiations to make their voices heard.
