<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear friends</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is likely that there will be a number of CJ groups and activists may be attending the climate talks for the first time. The following information may help groups interact with the Climate talks.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Civil society groups are divided into different constituencies - these include the gender and women constituency, trade union, farmers, research institutions, youth, indigenous people as well as
business. If you would like to contact any of those constituencies - their daily meeting schedule is attached.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Environmental NGOs are organised via the following groupings - the climate justice space, or climate action network or unaffiliated groups.<br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Climate Justice groups don't have a well funded infrastructure such as CAN does - so we have to rely on voluntary capacity being provided by CJ groups to be able to effectively our collective work.
CJ groups act together but recognise the diversity of structures, views and perspectives and as such no group speaks on behalf of CJ groups. Each groups uses their own organisational identity but indicates that they are members of the climate justice spaces.<br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently Friends of the Earth, Third World Network and IPS offer some capacity to act as focal points between the UNFCCC and CJ groups. The focus of our work is usually around ensuring that the
voices of CJ groups are heard, that we push for more rights of participation in the talks, and that CJ groups who lose their badges have support etc.<br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here is some information that may be useful to you over this weekend: </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Badges</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A reminder that accreditation will be closed on Monday 30th November till 1pm. So if you dont have a badge you will not be allowed into the Blue Zone till after 1pm.</span></li><li>We understand that the Green Zone will also be closed till 1pm<br>
</li></ul>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>

<ul style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You can however register from now till Sunday evening. Please do so if you are able to and avoid the long queues.</span><br>
</li></ul>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you are heading to the COP with your luggage - some people have reported problems because of the security - so you may be better leaving your luggage at your hotel before heading to the venue.</span><br>
</li></ul>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Make sure you bring your passport or ID and also your acknowledgment letter.</span></li></ul>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Transport</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></p>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For those travelling from outside of France - you are able to pick up a free transport pass. This is from the COP venue.. next to where you go to accredit yourself.</span><br>
</li></ul>
<div><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.3333px; text-indent: -24px;">Free transportation is provided courtesy of the Government of France to all participants with valid conference
badges. Navigo (commuters’ pass for public transportation for the areas that the shuttle lines do not cover). After you obtain your Conference badge you can then obtain your Navigo pass. For security reasons no one will be admitted to the conference transportation
unless you carry your conference badge</span><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.3333px; text-indent: -24px;"><br>

<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Security<br>
</p>
<ul dir="" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://www.cop21.gouv.fr/cop21-mesures-exceptionnelles-concernant-la-circulation-les-29-et-30-novembre/" id="LPlnk882896" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: blue; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">http://www.cop21.gouv.fr/cop21-mesures-exceptionnelles-concernant-la-circulation-les-29-et-30-novembre/</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span></span><br>
</li></ul>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Actions</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CJ groups have been engaged in a long running struggle on the continued restrictions on civil society being able to organise actions on the inside of the venue. Some groups like Friends of the
Earth, Earth in Brackets, and others have had a number of people debagged each year for 'unauthorised' actions and sometimes for totally made up reasons.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please be aware that there is likely to be even more restrictions - there will be additional information from UN Security over the weekend about actions inside the COP. We will share that information
as soon as we are informed of it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. COP Opening session and Leaders Event</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Due to the presence of Heads of State - restrictions will be in place for opening session. These restrictions include a limited
number of special secondary badges for the restricted area. A </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">100 badges will be made available to NGO Constituencies </span></div>
