STOP PRESS: Copies of After Copenhagen: a radical rethink (PDF, 123 KB) have been sent to nearly 800 "key people" around the world (February 2010).

Who we are

K2S is a group of volunteers who believe that the "Kyoto2" proposals provide a good basis for a worldwide system to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, with substantial advantages over most of the alternatives. We are working to raise awareness of the proposals amongst the general public and, in particular, amongst key politicians, advisors, negotiators and opinion-makers around the world.

Further information about the Kyoto2 proposals may be found:

• In Kyoto2: How to Manage the Global Greenhouse, Oliver Tickell, Zed Books, 2008, ISBN 978-1-84813-025-8 pb. 
• In a 2-sided A4 leaflet (PDF, 113 KB) summarising the Kyoto2 proposals and their advantages.
• On the Kyoto2 website: www.kyoto2.org.
• And from resources, press releases and other information on this website.
  

What we have done so far

So far (as of February 2010), nearly 800 "key people" around the world have received copies of After Copenhagen: a radical rethink (PDF, 123 KB).

In previous mailings, a slightly smaller subset of the same group has received copies of Kyoto2: How to Manage the Global Greenhouse. In most cases, the book has been sent by post together with a covering letter, a copy of one of Oliver's articles, and a leaflet summarising the Kyoto2 proposals and its advantages. Follow-up letters have also been sent to most people on the list. And meetings have been arranged with some of them. 

At the "Breakthrough Ideas for the 21st Century" event on the 1 July 2009, organised by the Sustainable Development Commission, Oliver and John hosted a display stand about Kyoto2 and gave out many copies of our leaflet.

Oliver Tickell, author of the proposals, has written many articles about the proposals, given many talks, and has discussed the proposals with many people. 

We are developing a dialogue with some of the "key people" in a position to influence what happens in the UNFCCC negotiations.

What we plan to do in the future

We do have a strategy for promoting the Kyoto2 ideas, including various ideas for things we may do. However this is not cast in concrete and any further ideas will be very welcome.
