The announcement below appeared in my email inbox from the Climate-L folks. Note who is responsible for funding the upgrade of the UN FCCC website. Give the U.S. stance on Kyoto, I wonder what is going on there, perhaps a paving of the way for a reentry into the negotiations?

“The UNFCCC secretariat is pleased to announce the relaunch of its official website, which will take place on 11 October 2004.

This relaunch will conclude a major project designed to make information more accessible, introduce a revised navigation structure and automate information management.

The relaunch has been made possible through a generous contribution from the United States of America and has benefited from feedback provided by 450 Party representatives, IGOs and NGOs.

The secretariat hopes that the new website will enhance communications and access to information about the climate change process.”
