   Dear Dan,


   Just to confirm that I do plan to attend, and I will be representing Peter Stott and Gabi
   Hegerl (who will in turn be representing me at the other IPCC meeting in Hawaii).

   PS Needless-to-say, my parent organization (University of Oxford) lost all its money in
   Iceland...

   events and disasters: Managing the risks"


   Dear colleague


   As you will be aware the Science Steering Group set up by the IPCC bureau have invited you
   to attend a scoping meeting for a possible IPCC special report on "Extreme events and
   disasters: Managing the risks". 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.



   Best wishes,
