Note:
We work hard to respect our network members' time and interests. In order to maintain the integrity of these listservs and minimize unwanted postings, these listservs are closed listservs for researchers, policy makers, key stakeholders and decision-makers.

At this time, listserv messages pertain mainly to funding alerts, calls for papers, upcoming conferences, and highly newsworthy items.

Do you wish to stay informed, but do not want to join the listserv?

If you are not a researcher or policy maker, yet you would like to be kept informed regarding the network's activities and highlights of Canadian and international climate change news and projects, you are welcome to request to receive only an occasional newsletter and forego joining the listserv --please send in a completed Network Member Profile noting your preference.
