Abstract
One and a half decades of climate negotiations have directly caused greenhouse gas emissions of about 150,000 t CO2. At prevailing market prices, making the full negotiation process greenhouse-gas-neutral ex post would cost about US$0.5 million, which is a fraction of the cost of the conferences.
