We at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) are very pleased that you have been invited to participate in the scoping meeting. DECC has agreed to cover some travel and subsistence costs for UK participants at this meeting, however, due to limited funds, we encourage you to seek funding from your parent organisation in the first instance. If they are not able to cover your costs for the meeting then DECC would be able to fund your travel and subsistence for the meeting. If this is the case then we would need to see an estimate of your costs beforehand (broken down into travel, hotel, meals etc) so that a budget can be agreed in advance of the meeting. We would then reimburse actual costs up to the agreed budget on receipt of supporting vouchers. I have attached our general guidance on support for IPCC activities which is applicable in this case. Please do not hesitate contact us if you require further details or clarification.
