The United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21 was held in Paris, France November 30 to December 11, 2015. This was the 21st yearly session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 11th session of the Meeting of the Parties (CMP 11) to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. - [|Wikipedia]

Essay
Given the transformation needed, #COP21 is a wakeup call to improve our understanding through more engaged communication. Mainstream press and TV coverage will neither improve in quantity nor quality without audience demand.

Before the conference, BBC's Justin Parkinson ([|@JustParkinson]) asked [|Is there a danger to environmental jargon]? And for those keen on mainstreaming interest in environmental matters, the answer is a resounding yes. Environmental jargon keeps environmental journalism as curiosity features at best. If coverage is to improve, then the organizers themselves need to be more public facing. None of the online press conferences opened the floor to questions from remote participants. The [|@COP21] Twitter account never replied to questions. The organizers posted zero Creative Commons-licensed images on Flickr.

For those seeking timely and reliable information from the event, [|dead tree journalism] ([|@BrookingsInst] [|@TimmonsRoberts] ) was a disappointment and online coverage triumphed ... provided you knew where to look. Kudos to [|Slate]([|@EricHolthaus]) and Carbon Brief ([|@CarbonBrief] [|@LeoHickman]). Low carbon open access transparency stars were [|@LaingHamish] and [|@ryanmearns] who crafted the open Google Doc #COP21 Tracker [] that sets a new benchmark for collaborative editing at international events.

[|Was anything left unsaid?] Talked about but mentioned only twice in the final document, intergenerational equity (l'équité intergénérationnelle).

Solutions. If there's interest from knowledgeable guests, Planeta.com would be happy to host video hangouts. Meanwhile, we'll continue to curate relevant headlines on the Planeta wiki. Suggestions are always welcome. [|Change the world].

Now is the time to set the stage for next year's big environmental events including
 * June 5** World Environment Day
 * April 4-10** International Dark Sky Week [|#IDSW2016]
 * September 2016** World Conservation Congress, Hawaii
 * December 2016** 13th Convention on Biological Diversity (Cancún, México) [|#cbdcop13]

And for those following innovative uses of technology and the social web, can you schedule a presentation by [|@LaingHamish] and [|@ryanmearns] ? (Looking at you New Zealand's NetHui and National Digital Forum).

Transcript: Hey world. Ron Mader here from Planeta.com and Planeta Wiki Like many of you, I am really keen on finding out what's going to take place this week at the world climate change conference #COP21 taking place in Paris. And like many of you I am not going to be there so I'm speaking on behalf of remote participants: What can we access? What can we see? And does it make sense? There's a question I think we should ask of this event in terms of its being public-facing or facing the public. Do the words and do the jargon make sense? Or how do we best make sense out of what's being said and what's being done? So we will pay attention using that #cop21 hashtag. Wish you all the best and thanks for helping us out.

Spanish: Hola mundo. Ron Mader aqui desde Planeta.com y el Planeta Wiki. Como muchos de ustedes, estoy muy interesado en saber lo que va a pasar esta semana en la conferencia sobre el cambio climatico mundial #COP21 que se celebra en Paris. Y como muchos de ustedes, yo no voy a estar alla, asi que estoy hablando en nombre de 'remote participants' (partipantes virtuales) quien quieren saber lo que podemos acceder a lo que podemos ver y que conoce lo hace tener sentido. Hay una pregunta que creo que deberia pedir a este evento en terminos de estar orientada hacia el publico o 'public facing.' Las palabras o jerga tiene sentido? Como podemos major dar sentido a lo que se dice lo que se hace? Asi que vamos a prestar atencion. Vamos a estar usando ese hashtag #cop21. Le deseamos todo lo mejor y gracias por ayudarnos.

World Energy Outlook Special Briefing for COP21
(RELEASED 21 OCTOBER 2015) The crucial climate change meeting in Paris in December 2015 (COP21) is a major milestone in efforts to combat climate change. Most countries have by now submitted their national pledges, the so-called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). This WEO Special Briefing for COP21 updates the analysis and findings of the [|WEO Special Report on Energy and Climate Change], incorporating all climate pledges up to mid-October and the latest available energy data. It seeks to answer two key questions: what will the energy sector look like in 2030 if all INDCs are implemented fully, and will it be sufficient to put the energy sector on a pathway consistent with the world’s agreed global climate goal.

 * IUCN at the UN climate conference in Paris: Recognising nature’s solutions to climate change**
 * Gland, Switzerland, 27 November 2015 (IUCN) – IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature, is promoting the role of nature-based solutions to climate change at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris, France.**

**What:** Panel discussions, film releases, issues briefs and other materials related to nature’s solutions to climate change. For details on specific sessions see [|detailed agenda of IUCN events]. **Who:** IUCN Director General Inger Andersen together with a global team of IUCN experts on climate change, forests, gender, oceans, water, ecosystem-based adaptation, protected areas, species and other issues. **Where:** IUCN Pavilion at the UNFCCC Conference Centre, and the France–IUCN Partnership Pavilion in Climate Generations Areas. **Why:** While biodiversity and ecosystems are threatened by climate change, their conservation, restoration and sustainable management generate significant and practical nature-based solutions to climate change. These cost-effective solutions can contribute to both mitigation and adaptation objectives while also yielding other important economic, social and environmental co-benefits. **Featured media events:** [if !supportLists] · [endif] **What**: New Bonn Challenge pledges from national, subnational and corporate leaders. **Background**: The Bonn Challenge was launched in 2011 at an event co-hosted by the Government of Germany and IUCN, with a target of having 150 million hectares of degraded or deforested lands under restoration by 2020, boosting forests’ ability to provide clean water, food, fibre and fuel, and sustain local and global communities while helping stabilise the climate. To date, twelve countries have pledged a total of 59.58 million hectares to the Bonn Challenge, and further announcements over the course of COP21 and the Global Landscapes Forum represent a major leap towards achieving the goal. **Who**: IUCN’s Director General, Inger Andersen, will moderate this panel of commitments from country level through to private sector speakers. **When**: Sunday, 6 December 2015, 13:30-14:15 **Where**: Global Landscapes Forum, Room 251, Palais des congrès, Paris. [if !supportLists] · [endif] **What**: **Video screening** of ‘Stop the Burning’, followed by discussion with Jeffrey Horowitz, Founder of Avoided Deforestation Partners, and Jane Goodall, IUCN’s Honorary Patron of Nature, moderated by Inger Andersen, IUCN Director General. The screening will be followed by a **media Q&A session with Dr Jane Goodall**. **Background**: Thirty forest advocates call on global leaders to save our planet by saving our forests. Narrated by Dr Jane Goodall, DBE; produced, written and directed by Jeffrey Horowitz. **Who**: Dr Jane Goodall, IUCN’s Honorary Patron of Nature; Inger Andersen, IUCN Director General; and Jeffrey Horowitz, Founder, Avoided Deforestation Partners. **When**: Wednesday 9 December 2015, 13:30-14:30. **Where**: IUCN Pavilion–UNFCCC Conference CentreDin
