• 1. What is CLIMATE-L?

  CLIMATE-L is a community announcement list for policy makers and practitioners involved in climate change policy. This free knowledge-sharing tool is managed and moderated by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) Reporting Services. CLIMATE-L is a peer-to-peer service meant to advance understanding of issues related to climate change by allowing subscribers to post announcements related to activities with a strong focus on climate change policy. CLIMATE-L offers users a tool to better publicize and coordinate their efforts through virtual knowledge exchange.

• 2. What is posted on CLIMATE-L?

  Postings include climate change policy news, announcements of workshops/conferences, job listings and information on new publications and online resources. Postings also include the Climate Change Daily Feed, a compilation of items recently posted to the Climate Change Policy & Practice knowledgebase, which was also developed by IISD.

  The listserve is moderated by IISD, and only announcements that satisfy the following guidelines will be distributed to subscribers:
  1. All postings should be announcements appropriate for an international audience that have a connection to climate change policy and/or practice: i.e. best practices or research results in mitigation or adaptation activities and related technologies, announcements or outcomes of climate-related meetings or sessions/side events at climate meetings, relevant job postings, publications and online resources;
  2. No press releases or postings that are commercial in nature, personal statements, news stories, polemic statements or postings intended to create discussion will be cleared for distribution to the list;
  3. Postings should include the internet address for large documents (URLs) rather than including attached files. If possible, do not send file attachments. If you must attach a file, small PDF files under 200 kb are always recommended. Any message larger than 500kb is rejected by our software.
