"Decarbonisation will only be achieved successfully as a benefit contingent upon other goals which are politically attractive and relentlessly pragmatic." Gwyn Prins et al. (2010) The Hartwell Paper: A new direction for climate policy after the crash of 2009
You can help in a variety of ways, initially by contacting the network coordinator: [email protected]
This proposal is still under development prior to funding, and will still aim to continually focus our role and improve our performance once we start work. All comments welcome.
Our work is aimed at being complementary with other initiatives, so if you run or participate in one, or have ideas as to how we can support each other, please let us know.
If you are willing to be quoted in support of what we aim to do, this will greatly help us build momentum.
Our work, and in particular our country studies, will be done through ad hoc teams involving not only the core network participants and local researchers and practitioners, but specialist consultants whose time the network would purchase. If you would like to be considered for such a role please send us a capsule CV giving an indication of the range of expertise and experience you offer.
Our network coordinator, Peter Healey, has indicated that he wishes to gradually hand over the role to a successor in the course of the first three years of the network’s operation. The coordinator’s role is to support the network executive in making key decisions and to lead the network’s delivery on time and budget. Because the current team contains a majority from the northern hemisphere it would be good to hear from potential southern hemisphere candidates. Other suggestions, particularly of potential women members of the executive, would be welcome.
We are always happy to hear from potential funders, whether willing to respond to a full proposal, or to work with us to develop a programme of work which meets both our objectives.
