Who are the participants in the world climate conference, oroverde

For the negotiations on climate change, the UNFCCC has divided its members into two main groups. The classification is mainly based on the level of economic development and thus the obligations that a country has with regard to climate change. In addition, numerous loose groups of countries have formed common Pursuing interests.

Classification of the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

On the part of the UNFCCC, its members are divided into two main groups. The "Annex I" group consists of the countries that are fully industrialized (e.g. the countries of the EU) and the countries of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, whose economic system is currently undergoing conversion (economies in transition, or EIT countries). The subgroup "Annex II" consists of the countries of the Annex I group, which are used to organize economic collaboration and development (OECD) (all except EIT countries). The special feature of this subgroup is that they provide financial support to developing countries for climate protection and adaptation and help EIT countries to introduce environmentally friendly technologies.

The "non-Annex I" countries are mainly developing countries. They are said to be particularly assisted by other countries. They also include LDCs (Least Developed Countries), which have little opportunity to react to climate change themselves and who are helped with financial means and technology transfers.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)

Demonstrations often take place on the sidelines of climate conferences, such as here on 04.11.2017 in Bonn against coal mining.

In addition to the Member States, observers also take part in the climate conferences. This group, referred to as “Observer” in English, consists of over 2,000 NGOs (non-governmental organizations, NGOs; e.g. OroVerde) and 100 intergovernmental organizations (IGOs, e.g. the World Health Organization). Although they do not have the right to vote, they nevertheless draw attention to their points of view through information and actions. There are all sorts of opinions here – everything from supporters of the nuclear industry to indigenous peoples to environmental activists and human rights defenders is represented.

International groups

In the course of many years of climate negotiations, independent of the UNFCCC classification (Annex I & II) further groups formed. Your goal is to pursue certain interests together, because as a group you are stronger than when individual countries alone fight.

However, these groups are loosely composed and not bound by a contract; some are also members of several groups at the same time. In addition, countries’ positions on climate policy change depending on their domestic situation. In this way, new groups keep coming in and others dissolve, depending entirely on the current focus of the negotiations.
