Day 6 - Here comes the sun...
COP15 experienced a first today - a sunny day. Too bad most people were stuck inside and couldn't enjoy it.
There were several demonstrations scheduled for today, and there was some concern that they could turn violent. There were concerns that some groups would try to enter the venue and disrupt the meetings. At the moment, it seems that this probably won't happen. There are thousands of people marching in the streets of Copenhagen, and things look peaceful so far. They're showing a video feed of the march on the TV screens here, and it looks like people are just carrying signs and making a lot of noise. So far, so good.
The mood here has definitely become more serious - lots of hard, focused discussions going on. the fact that ministers will arrive soon (some are here already) weighs heavily, and people want to get as much done as possible.
Tomorrow is a day off, and not a moment too soon. It's a good day to recharge the batteries, sleep in a little, and explore the town. Hopefully I'll have some good photos to post.
