ENB Update

Earth Negotiations Bulletin’s free reports, analyses, and multimedia are distributed to tens of thousands of email subscribers to support their efforts to follow global negotiations on climate change, biodiversity loss, sustainable land use, and other pressing global challenges.

While primarily reporting in English, ENB also distributes reports when possible in additional languages. Select your language preferences to receive translated reports, when available.

Join other sustainable development policymakers and receive notifications delivered directly to your inbox as soon as each ENB report is available by entering your email here.

Note: In addition to the ENB Update, subscribers can also choose to receive:

• SDG Update: from our SDG Knowledge Hub 
• Linkages Update: a periodic newsletter that brings you highlights and trends from the meetings we are covering 
• Climate Change Job Vacancies Update: published each Wednesday. IISD does not assume responsibility for the jobs posted therein, and the positions listed in the Update have no relationship to employment opportunities with IISD unless explicitly noted. 

Peer-to-Peer Lists

IISD manages a number of peer-to-peer lists on topics related to sustainable development policy and practice. These freely available, moderated lists allow members to share information about their own organization’s work—such as new reports, meeting outcomes, and upcoming events—with a community of like-minded practitioners.

The lists are hosted by Google Groups. To join, sign out of any currently logged-in personal Google accounts. Click “Sign in”, then input the email address you want subscribed and click “Next”. If your email address is not associated with any Google account, click “Create Account” – “For Myself” – then click “Use my current email address instead” and enter the information requested. Once the desired email address is signed in, the user should click on “Ask to join group.” If you have any questions, contact our team at enb@iisd.org.

Subscribers can opt to receive messages from the Group as they are sent out or to receive a once-daily digest of all emails submitted that day. We recommend selecting "Individual Emails" to view senders' photos and multimedia.

Rules and Best Practices

IISD moderates the lists to eliminate spam and prevent abuse. Messages that promote hate, violence, or discrimination will be blocked.

All messages should be appropriate for an international audience and connect to the focus of the Google Group. No press releases or postings that are commercial in nature, personal statements, news stories, polemic statements or postings intended to create discussion will be approved.

Postings should include the Internet address for large documents (URLs) rather than including attached files. If possible, do not send file attachments. If you must attach a file, small PDF files under 200 kb are always recommended.

Some messages may be appropriate for multiple lists. In these cases, include all the appropriate Google Group email addresses in the "To:" field rather than sending individual messages to each Google Group. This approach will eliminate multiple emailing to individuals who are members of multiple Google Groups.
