[IISD Reporting Services]<http://www.iisd.ca/> [IISD Reporting Services on Facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/IISDRS>[IISD Reporting Services on Twitter]<https://twitter.com/IISDRS> Announcement from Tuesday, 3 March 2015 Dear ENB Reader, Welcome to the much anticipated year of 2015 - the next ten months will be a marathon of critical meetings from which IISD Reporting Services (IISDRS) is committed to publishing the Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB). Make sure the ENB reports that you have come to expect and value highly are available at these meetings and contribute towards the success in Paris at COP21, by helping us to raise the US$400,000 we still need to meet our funding goal of US$2 million. [http://www.iisd.ca/donate/2015/images/chart.png]In 2015, IISDRS would like to provide you, our readers, with uninterrupted reporting from these key MEA negotiations. In the first six weeks of 2015 we have already published the ENB from seven key meetings, including: UNFF AHEG2<http://www.iisd.ca/forestry/unff/aheg2/>, the First Intergovernmental Negotiation on the Post-2015 Development Agenda<http://www.iisd.ca/post2015/in1/>, the First Drafting Session of the Outcome Document of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD)<http://www.iisd.ca/ffd/icffd3/fds1/> and UNFCCC ADP2-8<http://www.iisd.ca/climate/adp/adp2-8/>. The coming months will be similarly busy, with more key meetings taking place, including those on the post-2015 Development Agenda, the preparatory meetings and the 3rd Conference on Financing for Development, meetings of the Montreal Protocol and Ramsar COP10. We also have an expanding schedule of climate change meetings, with additional sessions of the ADP now planned in September and October this year. It is important that we have all of our contributions in place so that we do not run out of funding before COP21 in Paris. To prevent any gaps in ENB coverage during this critical year, we need your help. Please support us through one or all of three different activities: 1. Encourage your friends and colleagues in government ministries, foundations or corporations to support the ENB by forwarding this letter, along with our proposal<http://www.iisd.ca/donate/2015/enb_2015_core_funding_proposal_march_2015.pdf>, and communicating the value of our reports to them; 2. Send us a quick note on possible funding sources, which we can follow up on, and; 3. Click this link<http://www.iisd.ca/donate/> to make a contribution towards our goal - while we rely heavily on large contributions from governments, your individual contribution also makes a difference. Please consider making a personal donation. We cannot do this work without you. We therefore ask for your support so that we can continue to provide the ENB, which is considered as, in the words of one of our readers, "a much needed development tool" that without which "the playing field would not be leveled". If you send along our funding proposal, we would love to hear from you so that we can thank you for your assistance. >From all of us here at IISD Reporting Services we would like to extend our >best wishes to you in 2015. We look forward to seeing you at the meetings and >to continue sharing our reports with you.
