\"Coalition<\/a>

Coalition of Ambition press conference COP21 Paris<\/p><\/div>\nOn Friday afternoon with the talks drawing to a close I attended a press conference called by the Marshall Islands. It featured Tony DeBrum, the Marshall Islands Foreign Minister, as well as several ministers in the Coalition of Ambition here at the Conference of Parties.<\/p>\n

This new grouping is not a negotiating bloc, but a coalition of parties that want to emphasis and push for much higher ambition at these talks.<\/p>\n

Tony De Brum said “You’ve read things in the media. We want you to hear from us directly. The High Ambition Coalition is emerging as a result of collective efforts of developed and developing countries.”<\/p>\n

It is a cross section from major groups. De Brum claimed that 90 countries are part of this coalition, but it is not a negotiating group. The coalition is about connecting voices, big and small, rich and poor for forging a joint effort to fight together on climate change.<\/p>\n

“We will not accept minimalist or bare bones agreement”, he said. <\/p>\n

This battle is very special and none of the countries here cannot go home without an ambitious #climate<\/a> deal #cop21<\/a> – @MinisterTdB<\/a><\/p>\n
