WHO ARE THE TOP 500 MOST PRESENT ACTORS IN THE COP?

The research question for this project was: who are the experts on adaptation? - We operationalised this question by dening expertise as the rights to speak or act in a particular arena. - We rst harvested the names of all UNFCCC COP participants from 2003-2013. - We then searched for any mention of these names in documents from 8 different climate change arenas. - From this we extracted a dataset of names occuring in different arenas over time. - The maps presented are all based on this data set This is a prototype! There are still problems, such as names appearing in different formats or names being too generic to possitively signify one particular actor. An elaborated version of this dataset would alsoinclude a range of documents from other arenas, such as the meeting proceedings of the COP, the proceedings of the Kyoto protocol, the advisory Board of the CTCN, the executive board of the CDM, the Compliance Committee, the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee, the Standing Committee on Finance, the Technology Executive Committee, or the Ad Hoc Working Groups.

WHO ARE THE TOP 150 MOST PRESENT ACTORS IN THE COP?
The idea of this map is to show how participants in the COP act as experts in different arenas. It shows you both how present participants have been in different arenas and what kinds of arenas they have been present in. Participants are ranked based on the number of times they have spoken in different arenas, and in different COPs, over time. This means that a participant who has spoken in three different arenas during four different COPs (twelve appearances in total) will rank higher than a person who has spoken in only one arena during all ten COPs (ten appearances in total). The relative presence of one actor in each arena is shown by the colours. To be counted as having spoken in an arena an actor must be listed as an organizer, a chair, an author, or be mentioned in a meeting report. It is not enough simply gure on the list of participants.

overall presence

SBSTA: The Subsidiary Body for Scientic and Technological Advice. The SBSTA supports the work of the COP and the CMP through the provision of timely information and advice on scientic and technological matters as they relate to the Convention or its Kyoto Protocol. SBI: The Subsidiary Body on Implementation. The SBI is one of two permanent subsidiary bodies to the Convention established by the COP/CMP. It supports the work of the COP and the CMP through the assessment and review of the effective implementation of the Convention and its Kyoto Protocol. Ofcer of the Cop. The COP is the supreme decision-making body of the Convention, where all Parties are represented. There are 11 elected members consisting of a President, Vice-Presidents, and the Chairs of the subsidiary bodies and the Rapporteur. LEG: The Least Developed Countries Expert Group. It consists of 13 members who are conrmed by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) and can serve for as long as their repspective region decides. Consultative Group of Experts. 24 members conrmed by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI). Members serve for 2 years and can only serve for two consecutive terms. Adaptation Committee. 16 members elected by the COP, half of them for 3 years, the other half for 2 years. They are not allowed to serve more than two consecutive terms. COP Side Events and Exhibits. As the name suggests these take place alongside the COPs, and other UNFCCC events. They were originally established by the secretariat as a forum for duly admitted observer organizations to highlight diverse climate change issues in a different environment from the negotiation process itself. IPCC Author. Authors for the IPCC reports are chosen from a list of researchers prepared by governments and participating organisations, and by the Working Group/Task Force Bureaux, as well as other experts known through their published work.

The map shows 5 examples of individual trajectories through different climate change arenas. The idea is to see how actors switch between arenas over time. To be counted as having spoken in an arena an actor must be listed as an organizer, a chair, an author, or be mentioned in a meeting report. It is not enough simply gure on the list of participants.

HOW DO CLIMATE CHANGE ARENAS OVERLAP?

The idea of the map is to show how each climate change arena shares actors with other arenas over time. The streamgraphs are based on the co-appearance of the names of actors in the datasets pertaining to each arena. The more an arena appears on the graph of another arena the bigger is their actor overlap relative to the maximum overlap between the two. To be counted as belonging to an arena an actor must be listed as an organizer, a chair, an author, or be mentioned in a meeting report. It is not enough simply gure on the list of participants.
