About us

About the Protocol

What we advocate

The Peoples' Protocol on Climate Change (PPCC) aims to involve the grassroots sectors in the climate change discourse by developing their capacities for engagement and action. It also aims to pressure governments and international bodies to put the people's perpectives and aspiration on the negotiating table in drawing up a post-2012 climate change framework.

Why we advocate

The people are the worst affected and yet are the least empowered. It is urgent, more than ever, for the people to unite and create their own spaces to raise their own concerns and issues on climate change.

Cancun meetings begin with call for “balanced outcome.” Cancun, Nov 29 (Hilary Chiew) - The Cancun climate-related meetings were launched at a welcome ceremony by the Mexican President Felipe Calderon, and with opening plenaries of the various bodies of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Indicating its priorities, the G77 and China called for a balanced outcome between the two negotiating tracks (in the groups on the Kyoto Protocol and on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention) and stressed the need to establish a new climate fund under the Convention and an oversight mechanism for climate financing overall, as well as new institutional arrangements for adaptation and technology transfer.

A new Chair's text as Cancun meetings begin Cancún, 29 November (Meena Raman) – The annual set of UNFCCC meetings begins in Cancun today, with hopes that this year there will be a better negotiating atmosphere, especially at the end, than last year's Copenhagen conference. Problems relating to process and procedures were mainly responsible for the bad ending in Copenhagen, so the participants in Cancun hope there will not be similar problems here. Process and substance are not separate issues, of course. A different process can give advantage to or even determine a particular choice of substance. Write comment (0 Comments)

What To Expect in Cancun: Some Key Issues Cancun, 28 November (*Martin Khor) --A year after the chaotic Copenhagen summit, the 2010 UNFCCC climate conference begins in Cancun.

The conference last year had been so hyped up before hand, with so much hope linked to it, that the lack of a binding agreement at the end of it and the last-day battle over process and text made it a near-disaster.
