Carbon Call Materials April 11, 2007

Questions to the panelists:
You may start sending in questions in advance to wgrussell@sknworldwide.com. This program presentation is not expected to fill our allotted call time. The presenters experience is that their materials, while brief, will generate significant questions and have requested that we provide a sufficient time period for open call participant questions. Please start sending in questions before the program. The earlier we get the questions the more likely we are to be able to respond.

Mitigating the impacts of climate change and reducing GHG emissions is a vital objective of businesses, governments and advocacy organizations around the world. While numerous international and local initiatives are ongoing to accomplish this common objective, progress has been slow and ecosystems continue to decline. No single business, government or technology innovation is sufficient. Rather, the cumulative impacts of multiple actions by all stakeholders are required to meet this collective challenge. The Carbon Calls explore and promote collaborative multi-stakeholder efforts, new business models and public-private partnerships and the use of innovative technology to expedite their formation, accelerate their knowledge sharing and to broadly promote implementation experiences.

This Carbon Call series is utilizing an inclusive collaborative approach to select community advisors, seminar topics and presenters, recruit partner & affiliate organizations and participants. The presentations and discussion formats combine local face-to-face meetings, live conference calls and an on-line collaborative workspace to support, retain and supplement live teleconference events and enable their use by participants in the future as references to new participants and others with similar learning interests.

The Carbon Call teleconference/seminar series is organized by the Center for Economic and Environmental Partnership, Inc., and a world class advisory panel of climate change and carbon management experts.
