Message from Kalia Moldogazieva

Dear friends,

Though here in Poland the weather is cold, at the UNFCCC conference there are hot discussions, many events, very busy agenda.

There were very interesting workshops of Green Cross International about reneable energy capacities in different countries. We took part in the different plenary sessions on several issues, such as mitigation and adaptation measures on climate changes in different countries, the responsibilities on reduction of greenhouse gases of developed and developing countries, transfering of technologies to developing countries. We visited exibition , organized by EU on new technologies on reneable energy, construction materials, wind energy, etc.

Many discussions and questions rised Clean Development Mechanism that was suggested as assistance to developing countries to achieve mitigation of global climate changes. I participated in seminar, where even small business copmanies experessed their concerns that there is created some barriers for participation of SME in this program. One women from national project on CDM related, as I understood, to East Europe said that there the requirement to monitor GHE during three years before project starts. So, CDM so complicated and creates many difficulties for implementing countries and this mechanism should be reconsidered.

Red, Savio, Avilash and Kite from Oxfam GB helping us to explain some procedures and policies in the framework of UNFCCC, that allow us to understand some realtions between cointries positions on main points of UNFCCC.

There are every day some actions from GreenPeace, Oxfam, Polska Zelena Scies on the street. Yesterday we also join to action "Stop harming, Strat helping"", and weared special glasses with such words.

Today we will have meeting with our governmental representatives at this conference, organized by Armenian government representatives after Boris spoke with him.

Best wishes,
