Greenpeace, WWF, Most NGOs & CSOs And Observers Quit Warsaw Talks

[hatrack]

In an unprecedented move, non-government organisations and civil society movements, who are part of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change as observers, walked out of the negotiations Thursday as the Conference of Parties (COP19) has so far failed to progress over the key issues including finance.

More than a dozen key organisations representing people from every corner of the Earth say they have decided to voluntarily withdraw from the Warsaw climate talks.

Greenpeace International, Oxfam International, International Trade Union Confederation, ActionAid International, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) International, Friends of the Earth (Europe), Aksyon Klima Pilipinas, Bolivian Platform on Climate Change, Construyendo Puentes (Latin America), Ibon International, Pan African Climate Justice Alliance and Peoples’ Movement on Climate Change (Philippines) are among the organisations.

They decided to quit the climate talks around 12:30pm CET (5:30pm BdST) and are set to leave the conference venue, the Warsaw National Stadium, around 2:30pm.
