Responding to Climate Change 2008
Now in its eighth edition, this publication was produced primarily to serve the information requirements of participants of the Conference of the Parties (COP) meetings which are hosted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), showcasing the latest initiatives, products and services in relation to climate change. It has gradually extended its reach over the years to encompass technological innovation and reporting mechanisms in response to the growing relevance of climate to private enterprise strategy and operations and it has now become an important information resource to stakeholders in the wider international community who have a vested interest in the challenges associated with climate change. It is published in English and French online, in CD and hard-copy formats and includes regular editorial input from the UNFCCC, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other climate change authorities.

United Nations Rio Conventions Calendar 2003
The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the Convention for Bio Diversity (CBD) – otherwise known as the “Rio Conventions” presented a prestigious A3 sized 2005 calendar to world leaders, heads of governments, environment ministers and negotiators, inter-governmental agencies, non government organisations and key individuals engaged in environmental challenges all over the world.

A minimum of ten thousand printed copies were made available, of highest quality, full colour using fourteen photographic images portraying the synergy that exists between the work of the three Rio Conventions. To cater to a much wider audience, the Rio Conventions hosted an electronic downloadable version of the calendar and a gallery of photographs on all three websites, making it a personal diary for anyone with a vested interest in sustainable development.

The United Nations Rio Conventions invited sponsorship from appropriate organisations wishing to play a high-profile role within each of the convention processes.
