Finally, the energy and water nexus also isn't mentioned. This is an ongoing activity that we should
mention in the introduction – along with other updates on our continuing collaboration – but again,
an in-depth discussion perhaps isn't required. Any views?
In sum,
please let me know, by the end of the week (10 November):
− if you agree to leave the agenda as suggested by the U.S., or if you want to add any other
items;
− who from your respective units will participate in the meeting and address the items under
your direct responsibility.
As announced, I will come back to you in due course to ask for contributions to the briefing for
Patrick Child, including with regard to ongoing activities to be mentioned in the introduction to the
meeting.
Many thanks!
