make it or break it? --- Each UN CC Conference in recent years has been depicted as a "make it or break it" moment. The reality is different. While the focus is solely on declarations from world leaders, the outcome of this type of Conference is measured by how realistic the discussions in the sherpa groups are. And here an incremental step forward is also important, paving the way for key issues. A deal limiting the global warming to 1.9 C would be already something. And more than the overall result achieved quantitatively, I believe that success must be measured by the collective commitment to move forward, going towards the same direction.
