The next few days made it even more surreal, as professionally I was concentrated on continuing rounds of UNCSD negotiations in New York as well as in preparation for this UNFCCC intersession.. whereas the immediate reality was denied access to main s

A significant portion of this dayвІ s protesters were youth, among them also environmental activists, who kept on going; – or attempts thereof. [And normally, and once more, I would not be found writing in such detail on this topic were it not for my personal experience the very next day: I am an avid jogger come spring time and greening landscape, early morning every day, as a result of my schooling requirements years ago.] That particular morning – exiting home to fresh air and blooming scents – had the blood quickly boiling in my veins; all streets were already chained off, and I faced OMON forces who told me to turn off the green, without answering why. On my way I saw loads of trucks and men; clearly they have been positioned and waiting there much earlier than 7am. By and by, realization dawned on me that MoscowВPis a scary place to be..

Notably, last day of April has had the Kremlin published the so-called ‘ вІ ; one of the last documents signed by then-President D. Medvedev. And the day after вІ Russia traditionally embarked on 10 days of holidays.. but in a somewhat unusual way this time; the inauguration of the new President coincided, being May 7th. So, on 6th May, people demonstrated their attitude in the city centre (google: March of Millions); however, and again, in an unusual way вІ they were met with OMON forces to restore what should have been considered civil order.

For the side of things in Russia, it has been no exception; until as recent as a week ago! Although there have been ‘winter demonstrations’ nicknamed the Russian Spring, the amazing thing was the relative peacefulness and perhaps quietness, with, meanwhile, re-elections of the President-to-be, anew. And usually I would not go as politically as this, but the current flavour provides way of a different context to the whole story.ВPвІ Past few years have been hard for ENGOs and IGOs working in the eco-sector, not least due to some political decision-enacting; and in the case with climate change and recent agenda developments, one was able to perceive how important the topic actually is, in governance; albeit not necessarily mirrored in federal priorities.

Certainly, preparation meetings and secretarial workshops prior to COP17 in Durban have been taking much of many a delegate’s energy, time and consequently sleep; especially of those, who also contribute to the 5th IPCC report. Right after the Durban conference has – strenuously prolonged – finished, many-a-delegate were also rushing off straight into UNCSD Rio+20 agenda in New York (a series of preparatory meetings before the summit, in what is now less than a month’s time!). So, in short, stress has been building up, and no wonder that many find it hard to keep aflow following all these processes simultaneously, let alone contributing actively; – it is tearing apart for one person, no matter how experienced or whether with a been-there-done-that attitude.

Close to a year has passed since last UNFCCC intersession in Bonn, but how far have we gone?
