There’s only one place to follow all the latest news and analysis from the next round of climate talks (apart from RTCC), and that’s on twitter.
The platform offers a huge variety of contributors, from UN officials, negotiators, politicians, activists and youth groups.
Below are the twitter accounts we recommend you follow. You can also follow them all in one place here.
