Founded in 2014, its core task is to provide chairs of multilateral negotiations with state-of-the-art best practices for facilitating global agreements inhighlycomplexmultilateralsettings. The Centre’s first strategy support was for the UNFCCC Secretariat and the inter-ministerial team of the French presidency in preparation of COP 21. Since then, CEMUNE has shared best practices of facilitation with countries and international organiza- tions around the world, from Argentina to Kazakhstan, from Fiji to theUnitedKingdom. CEMUNE also provides training in multilateral negotiations and carries out academic research in this field. Supported by donors around the world, it seeks to reduce the loss of expertise caused by changingnegotiationhosts,tospreadbestpractices,andtocontribute tobetternegotiationoutcomes.
