Module 2 – Learn About Your Country • Go to http: //bit. ly/metlink-climate-negotiation-countries and select your country. • Look at the images and read the key country fact sheet to learn about your country and complete JUST the ‘country facts’ part of your negotiation card (not the ‘thoughts’ column). • Learn the words in the glossary – you’ll be expected to know what they mean. • You are not expected to have any knowledge of specific actions individual countries have already made. If you find out about them, though, noting them down may help you later!

Module 3 – Strategy Meeting • Meet with the other delegates from your country, discuss what you have learned about your country, and check what you have written on the country facts section of your negotiation card. • What is your country like now? • How is it changing? • What matters to the people in your country? • Complete the ‘thoughts’ column. For example, looking at your GDP, does that make you a relatively rich or poor country? Looking at your ranking in terms of emissions – are any changes you make going to have a big impact? You have 20 minutes for this task!

You have 5 minutes for this task!

Finalise your Pledge In your country delegations, using the final pledge section of your negotiation card, agree what you are going to pledge in terms of greenhouse gas reductions and financial contributions to the Green Climate Fund. You have 3 minutes for this task!
