I've just returned home after an amazing few days in Auckland with the rest of my delegation to COP 2013. The weekend in a phrase was “brain exploding”, but exhilarating for all. The weekend was filled with talks, presentation and discussions both within the delegation and with (incredibly) valuable minds. They were excellent in providing us with insight into the processes at the conference, and up to date information about the science behind climate change. I am so thankful to all these people for taking the time to share their wisdom with us!
