11.2 Memorize and keep with you

  • Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the FCCC and KP; at least keep them in your possession at all times.

  • Keep the index located in this guide with you at all times (see Chapter 12).

  • Underline texts that are relevant for your own position on key issues, so that you can cite them whenever necessary.

  • Keep a copy of all the COP decisions within reach. If you need one, the document desk of the FCCC has a copy of all decisions for you to refer to.

  • Keep a copy of the Rules of Procedure handy, and if possible memorize the key elements.
