| Summary/Abstract |
The yearly international climate change negotiations, also known as Conferences of Parties (COPs), are large and formidable affairs. Under the aegis of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), government ministers, bureaucrats, and other delegates from developed and developing countries come to hash out compromises. Civil society organizations, activists, researchers, scientists, UN officials, journalists, students, and private-sector leaders come from all over the world to protest, network, and exchange ideas.
