This newsletter reported on our 2008 client event and three projects that we had recently completed.  At Risk Solutions we pride ourselves on our diverse mix of clients and the wide range of projects we work on.  The projects featured in this issue were to:

• Define a research programme that is needed to form the basis of future negotiations on greenhouse gas stabilisation.
