Is Catherine working on environmental policy related to sustainability or is
she working on greenhouse gas transactions . . . or both?

You do not need to real Catherine McKalip-Thompson's full trip report from
her European venture, but you did express some surprise that on her trip to
Europe she went beyond policy and discussed "busienss" or commercial
activities, as I recall our conversation. her note below makes clear, to me,
that partnerships and investments were discussed with, inter alia, a Dutch
distribution company, Credit Lyonnais, and CGU (an insurer). Just FYI. mcs

John,

Attached is my trip report for Amsterdam, Paris and London - I've given the
contact information for everyone to Kathy to be entered in the database and
thank you notes are going out today.

The company meetings did not go quite as well as I might have hoped (Edon was
not so interested), but we need to discuss further the potential relationship
with Credit Lyonnais' effort to develop the "gap financing" fund.UNEP
conference not as billed but some contacts there such as Credit Suisse First
Boston and Gerling's Sustainable Development Company were useful as both are
quite interested in climate change business opportunities. Also it provided
a chance to gather interesting updated info on current financial-sustainable
development metrics, links, funds, firms, etc. Discussions with participants
in the UK Emissions Trading group were interesting and I now have several
working papers on this effort which I can distribute to anyone who is
interested (though Mark's group probably has them already but I'll check with
them directly on that). I did not get the chance to meet up with Nicola Steen.
