I have also attached an updated copy of the draft program for the meeting. Now the speakers have been nearly fixed, I will go ahead and contact the discussants you have suggested. A. Reducing emissions Please see forwarded email below from David Vincent about subject of talk by Tom Delay of the Carbon Trust. We could keep the title of the part of the session as "Reducing emissions" and he could present "The Role of the Carbon Trust" Please can you contact David Vincent about the subject (contact details below). Suggested discussants: Andrew Warren, Chris Anastasi B. Risk: managing the dangers Chris Newton has agreed to speak in principle and will await contact from you. His contact details are: Head of Sustainable Development, Environment Agency, Rio House, Waterside Drive, Aztec West, Bristol, BS32 4UD. Tel 01454 878873 Email: chris.newton@environment-agency.gov.uk Suggested discussants: Paul Jefferies (RSPB), Bob Maynard (DOH), John Parker (ABI) C. Communicating climate change science Roger Harrobin is interested in doing the talk, but says its impossible for him to commit 100%. I went to a meeting, organised by ITDG, last week which he had to drop out of - reason given was because he is an expert on the Taliban! Do you think it would be safer to line up some alternatives for this slot? Email address: roger.harrabin@bbc.co.uk Suggested discussants: Kate Hampton FoE, Phil Matthews (Councils for climate protection) Attendees: We are keen to get your suggestions for who to invite, so please send them to Rachel or me, with institution name, and postal address if possible.
