We put an advert and a page of text in both the 2001 and 2002 publications - and paid for it. We have not yet decided about 2003. I am copying this to my colleague - Dr Elaine Jones, Tyndall's Business Liaison Manager - since it was she who negotiated this on our behalf and handled all the correspondence [Elaine - could you give Neil a brief run-down of the rates/content etc. as we used it? Elaine - do we have a spare copy we could send to Neil?] Certainly quite a few heavyweight businesses and research establishments advertised. And it gets to all delegates. How effective it is of course is a matter of judgement - I can't give you any hard evidence about this.

He said that this is an "official" publication that is produced for the UNFCCC Secretariat that get's high visibility at the CoPs. He wants to know if START would be interested in being included in the publication (with a focus on AIACC). By this he means purchase advertising space as well as to provide a paper or case study that would be included in the publication. The Tyndall Centre is listed as a partner. Do you know anything about Entico and their publication? Is this worth learning more about and considering as a possible way to inform more people (COP delegates in particular) about AIACC? I looked at their web page briefly. Under case studies, research and training, the entries include Columbia University's Earth Institute and a Cambridge-MIT collaboration. So it looks like they have some solid programs that have decided to use them for outreach. But I really don't know anything about them. If you have any opinions I would be glad to have them. Thanks, Neil Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 17:44:32 +0000 From: Adam Bumpus Subject: Responding to Climate Change 2003 - COP9 To: RFuchs@agu.org, NLeary@agu.org Importance: Normal X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Dear all, Following our conversation earlier today, and as promised, I include the attachment regarding the publication 'Responding to Climate Change' for COP9 in December 2003. As we discussed, the publication will go into the hands of all the delegates and attendees at the meeting as a window on the major and most innovative players in the climate change arena. This is really about the communication of effective climate change networks and solutions, and to provide conference-wide profiling and support of those organisations taking part at the conference. The publication is an official observer at the meeting, and thus takes a high profile to promote the work of the organisations we work with. This will also be the case for the side events that we will run for select members of our partners. For the START secretariat, and in addition to the advertisement, we would also like to invite you to be involved with a contribution to the editorial of the publication, in the form of a case study or white paper (approximately 800) in order to build in more detail the solutions you present. All the materials in the publication will also be presented on the associated dedicated website ([1]www.rtcc.org), with links to all the partners involved, and driving traffic through to their websites through active links. RTCC 2002 is still on-line for you to help substantiate our credentials and other partnerships. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I thank you in advance and look forward to speaking with you on Monday.
