Inside or Outside the tent?

I've picked up a little concern among some NGOs that they may be sidelined at this year's meeting. There are more than a dozen sessions on climate change, for example, but only a handful have an NGO representative on the panel, they say. The good news from their perspective? Politics and business have recognised the issue. The bad news? They see the issue being de-politicised and discussion being less diverse. It's what Simon Zadek of Accountability calls

And where is the development agenda of two years ago in the run up to the Certainly not as prominent as it was.

Others dispute the claim and say that, in any case, NGOs have other platforms - what matters is that business and politics are starting to act.

There was this same concern from another blog I posted comment on yesterday stating the same apprehension about roles of NGOs being sidelined this year. From what's showing at the moment, it's all business and politics. Acknowledging an issue is a fad. It would be interesting to note how this would develop later - if there's a chance that this be addressed.
