Dear Gep-Ed
Perhaps Dr Chasek's "Follow the money" can include the raw political
economy of how much money is involved in the denial and delay of
responsible adaptation. There is so little journalism now... I
hesitated to throw this note on the list but decided to go ahead
thinking of an ISA meeting in Vail CO a few years ago at which I gave a
paper in a session on Climate Change as Security Issue -- it was
remarkably unattended, and the meeting was very largely devoted to
highly academic discourse on policy theories. Not what I hoped.
Maybe this approach can bring some of those "security is military" folks
into a larger view?
Good luck!

Hi everyone:
I was wondering if anyone would like to join in a possible ISA panel
for the conference next April in San Diego. I have two different ideas
and would be happy to get one of them to fly.
Panel Idea #1: Follow the Money
A panel that looks at financing/funding for implementation of
multilateral environmental agreements. I have a paper (half-written)
looking at funding for national implementation of the UNCCD (I can
send an abstract to anyone interested). This panel could include
papers about the GEF, specific conventions, the UNFCCC Adaptation
Fund, the Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund, or the call for new
funding mechanisms.
Panel Idea #2: Climate Change Adaptation
This panel could look at different approaches to address climate
change adaptation -- etiher at the international, national or local
levels and how this feeds back into the UNFCCC National Adaptation
Programmes of Action.
Anyone interested?
Pam
