I think COP15 was one of the most important experiences in my life. I saw what a huge international, intergovernmental negotiation looks like, I saw the people who attended the event. I have seen so many different NGOs and research institutions I would've never seen otherwise, and collected a lot of useful material (still reading them).
I also met some new people, mostly climate champions, I met friends from previous theme based events, exchanged ideas, opinions, it was really useful for networking. The Scottish Day was great, it was good to see all these people together, and it was useful to meet the experts they invited. Maybe if we had a little more workshops, or special Challenge Europe-related events, we could expand our networks more.
Staying outside Copenhagen without internet (youth hostel reserved by the BC) didn't really help getting the useful information sent by email on time (like Bella Center is closed for Sunday, no point going there). On the other hand there was this small problem with the second passes with the Bella Center (only 33 for 110 people), I think the BC handled the rotation quite well; I could get in every day, when the British Council was on the entrance list.
Overall, the COP15 was really useful experience; it formed my opinion a lot regarding negotiations and protocols. The result of the conference is what I expected, if they really wanted to come up with some kind of agreement between the developed countries, they should have been worked on it all year at home and not only in the last weeks before the conference.

‘Don’t shop, swap!‘ was the idea behind the initiative which encouraged people to swap their goods rather than throw them away, re-use old products instead of buying new ones and by doing that help decrease CO2 emissions from the productionof new items.
