Cheers Phil At 08:32 26/10/2009, you wrote: Hi Phil Hmmm...how about Bob Watson, since he's on the doorstep. Apart from him, I'd mention Saleemul Huq. Works for IIED, but about to return to head an institute in Bangladesh (butI'm sure he'll keep strong links in UK). Definitely a DfID darling. Depends just how much of a figurehead you want them to be. If totally, then maybe Joe Alcamo, now UNEP Chief Scientist, based in Nairobi. Very good - was a water systems modeller at U. Kassel. He's American - maybe has a German wife? Or Diana Liverman? On leave from Oxford to head the US NAS panel on adaptation.

Anyway - do you know of someone - bit lower down than Patchy, who is well known in the adaptation/mitigation fields globally that we ask to lead it (as a figurehead). You should be getting an email from ENV for a reference for Andrew Dlugolecki. We're putting him forward for an honorary readership in ENV. Good to see you the other week!
