Greetings.  I received a one-page proposal with "Summary" and "The Package".
This proactive training approach looks good to me.  Several thoughts on
possible synergies:

I have just read a proposal from START and others to the GEF for a project
on integrated assessments of climate change, with a focus on policies and
economics, but some similar language to yours regarding the approach.  Tom
Downing of the ECU at Oxford is involved with it.

I have received funds to organize a few workshops in Central/Eastern Europe
to promote awareness based on the IPCC reports, targeting policymakers,
probably in June.

The Dutch government has produced a sophisticated CD ROM that demonstrates
the science of climate change, with a second module that lets you plug in
numbers and so forth to see what your national policies result in.  It's
quite good, and I will seek funds to translate and adapt it from the Dutch.

Let me know what type of endorsement you are looking for.

Regards, Michael.
