Sun At Work In Cancun
Hola! Greetings from Cancun where I saw immediate differences in this year's global climate talks from the moment I stepped off the plane.

Last year I needed a parka; this year I need sunglasses. I'm hopeful improved weather is a good sign of an equally improved outcome. Delegates have a constant reminder (and distraction) to work through our shared challenges towards solutions.
