Dear All, First of all my best wishes for the New Year. As you may have noticed, I have started working on one of my "good intentions" for this year, which is the set-up of an email list for the Steering Committee. The reason for this is that some of you let me know that some mailers did not allow one to directly reply to all members of the list. You should have received a notice on the inclusion of your email address on this new list including instructions on how to use it. My current email is therefore also a test. I would appreciate it if you could let me know (to my individual email address) whether you received the current email and whether you would need other aliases of your address to be included. The latter are needed if you send emails to the list from another address than the one currently included in the list, which is the address that was used in the past emails to the SC. All the best,    Mieke -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Mieke Massink Ph.D. - Senior Researcher FM&&T Group (http://fmt.isti.cnr.it) C.N.R. - Area della Ricerca di Pisa - Ist.

No nation is immune. Yet we continue to feed our fossil fuel addiction. We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.” António Guterres, UN Secretary General, July 2022, at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, Berlin
