How can you negotiate successfully in a very rigid process where more than 190 governments (who are organized in a complex web of formal and informal alliances) negotiate hundreds of technical and political issues that impact all aspects of how we live? Climate negotiators require a particular set of skills and, understandably, are sometimes skeptical of how theory applies to their specific contexts. This session reflects the speakers experience of designing a Climate Negotiation Training together with climate negotiators for climate negotiators and discusses takeaways for bridging the theory-practice gap.
