Regarding the report, I found it very positive that a lot of delegates were affirming their commitments to meeting a new, 1.5 C target and that the take away wasn&#8217;t doom and gloom, but a reorientation of the challenge. I thought it was a very positive meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that was most exciting for me today is that I took place in my first protest! Ben Goloff &#8217;15 help organize an action with the\u00a0People\u2019s Demands for Climate Justice and I went to support him. I ended up holding a sign and chanting. The Polish government is pretty strict about demonstrations, so this was inside the conference site and not out on the streets. But it still drew a crowd. I think the message of the cause is pretty important as well, so I was happy to take part.
