Summary of Interviews
The report identifies that consensus in the UNFCCC is a complex 'human process' driven by the interaction of political context, negotiation dynamics, and group process. It emphasizes the critical role of 'hybrid' negotiators and chairs who possess both technical expertise and diplomatic skills. Key recommendations for improving the process include reducing the number of negotiating tracks to allow for deeper domestic consultation and leveraging informal dialogues to build trust. While the consensus-based model is slow, interviewees generally viewed it as essential for the legitimacy of agreements, particularly for vulnerable countries.
