As agreed I am copying the details to colleagues. UEA will get 10 key people to craft a European version of the US science and economist letters. You will get it signed onto. Would like 750 of help from us for that. Then you will send this to heads of state in November. You want WWF to organise a press event around that at a suitable location(s) (London/Geneva/Brussels). There is money in the UK (SP5) budget here and I will discuss that with Nick Mabey as mentioned. He should be your contact here. Otherwise Lars Georg Jensen in WWF Denmark is a key contact for the TDA. We will no doubt talk again soon about other things! >>> Mike Hulme 12/September/1997 10:42am >>> Merylyn, Following Rob Swart's contact with you, I would like to speak about ways we can activate this climate statement, ideally before I leave for Holland on Tuesday.
