CBD BINGO Cards
Distinguished delegates:
May I offer one core suggestion to counter the twin menaces of boredom and pessimism that threaten to derail the GBF?
The following bingo cards have been derived from long hours of informal and conference room negotiations. These cards seek to incorporate a diverse range of voices from across all regions. They can be implemented individually, competitively, or indeed - in the spirit of the CBD - cooperatively.
Phrases are in black; an event or observation in blue.
Bonus: complete two rows, if you notice it
Card 1 BONUS: Francis plays a practical joke on Basile at the start of plenary.
Card 2 BONUS: A speaker proposes to a member of your delegation.
While we would discourage gambling (especially with the future of nature), we suggest that this bingo be played with friends and collaborators. Suitable prizes could include:
· Complementary coffee
· A meeting with the delegate of your choice
· A comprehensive, watertight agreement on government actions for biodiversity till 2050.
