Sixteen students from the University of Minnesota will attend the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Mexico at the end of the month.

The students will attend the first week of the two-week negotiations starting Nov. 29. They will blog from the event and provide updates to the local media.

Officials from governments all over the world will meet in Cancun to thrash out cooperative agreements to deal with climate change - although U.N. officials aren't expecting it to produce anything legally binding.

Seven of the students are enrolled in a climate change policy course co-taught by state Sen. Ellen Anderson and state Rep. Kate Knuth.

All the students will discuss their experiences on Dec. 9, at the university's Insitute on the Environment on the St. Paul campus.
