Dear Nicola,
As a Londoner now living in Jakarta, I would appreciate knowing whether Jakarta was represented at last week's C40 Conference in New York. Also, and if so, what commitments have been made to reducing CO2 emissions here. There has been little to no publicity reaching us here from the conference.
My main purpose is to press for change within the City Government and its bureaucracy, changes which I push for in my blog,
Jakartass, and have pointed out are needed in
Culture Shock - Jakarta, to be published by Marshall Cavendish in August.
With thanks,
Jakartass......................................................

Dear Mr. Jakartass,
I am writing following your email to my colleague Nicola Dillon regarding the Climate Change summit that took place in New York last week.

Subject: Jakarta & C40
Dear Ms. Brennan,
If you had read my original email, you will have noted that I asked for specific information about Jakarta's participation in the C40 Conference held in New York earlier this month.
The reason that I wrote to Nicole Dillon in the first place was because I found her email address through lengthy reading of the two websites you name. Apparently, with London's Mayor,
Ken Livingstone, being the C40 chair, Nicole is/was providing the secretariat services.
The only reason I know about the conference, apart from reading
The Guardian online, was because Ken Livingstone appeared in a short news item on satellite TV here. And the only reason I know that Jakarta is included in the C40 is because I perused those two websites and others, e.g.
various press releases, including this one, and articles on other sites such as this one.No-one here in Jakarta seems to be aware of the city's (alleged) involvement in the group and none of the current candidates in the gubernatorial election in August has mentioned climate change in their manifestos ~ in fact, none have a manifesto.
Your answer is as helpful as those we don't get from Jakarta's administration.
Yours sincerely,
J
