Summary of Interviews
This report summarizes interviews with 22 UNFCCC stakeholders to analyze the dynamics of consensus-building in climate negotiations. It introduces a Policy Dialogue Model focusing on political context, negotiation dynamics, and group processes, while highlighting the importance of interpersonal trust, the role of 'hybrid' negotiators (combining diplomacy and technical expertise), and the critical influence of capable chairs. The findings suggest that reducing the frequency of meetings and increasing informal dialogue could enhance the quality of outcomes, while cautioning that moving from consensus to majority voting could undermine the process's inclusivity.
