This is a treaty process. We are here to observe. But if we cannot be in the rooms, we cannot play our role.

There are 77% more people here than at the previous COP.'

Media, and especially UK media, this goes to you. We often seek simple terms to describe climate COPs. And we have milestone COPs and, well, less milestone ones. For me, this was first and foremost a 'Media COP'. And it was not a milestone COP. It was never mean to be. (see next)
I have been to COPs since 2008 and I do not recall a single one where media would have been given so much access to plenary. Informal stocktaking plenaries in the final days were broadcasted live and became partly a political theatre. In between... (continued)
... cameras crowded around huddling delegates. A live broadcast showed US, Chinese and other delegates hashing out final details of the texts. The President got emotional, which then made the evening news.

Why is this important? Because it helps understand this COP. (cont'd)

Presidency's stocktaking is just about to start.

Another huddle.

A few observations on the texts coming out this morning (some agreed, some appearing to be agreed, others with huge question marks):

* Two-year Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheikh work programme on the global goal on adaptation
* Long-term finance discussions would continue until 2027
...
* New collective quantified climate finance goal would be negotiated in an "ad hoc work programme", by 2024
* Standing Committee on Finance to provide inputs on the definition of climate finance to the next COP
* Subsidies, coal and just transition in the cover decisions
...
* Doubling of adaptation finance in CMA cover decision
* A work programme to 'urgently scale up mitigation ambition and implementation in CMA cover decision
* Annual updates of NDC synthesis report in CMA cover decision.

(Note: none of this has yet been adopted.)
