We have been in touch with several other partners in developing ideas for the workpackage, but in view of the high pressure under which the proposal is being put together, communication is not always easy. I therefore include a list of elements we would like to contribute to the respective parts of the proposal:. WP1. Scenarios: involved with proposal Brian O'Neill (contact: Detlef van Vuuren). Important issues: delineation with scenarios in other workpackages - no response so far. WP 3.1. Possible contribution, depends on connection with WP1 3.3. Primarily through cooperation with Un.Utrecht - proposal sent to Wokaun but no response. Possible to add global context with IMAGE/TIMER and add non-energy emssion reductions not covered in original proposal by Wokaun 3. 4. and 3.5: as for 3.3 WP 4.1. Suggested role for multi-gas stabilization profiles, burden sharing regimes and EU action with IMAGE-FAIR combination (building on work we have done with other partners for the European Commission). Current proposal by Haxeltine, Leemans and Adger has 100% focus on impacts and adaptation and should be broadened. We are ready to contribute 4.2. Now contains the regimes that should go under 4.1 4.6. Involved actively: see proposal Olsson&Metz that went to John Schellnhuber WP 5.4. Strong interest, but no response from coordinator (C. Jaeger) and WP coordinator Hasselmann refers back to CJ (!). We will put together proposal with Tyndall towards development of CIAS model. Best regards, Bert Metz
