<div>Dear IM4CA colleagues, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From the Methane 250 meeting in Ispra I’d like to bring the Angera Declaration to your attention. It aligns very nicely with the goals of the IM4CA project and raises awareness for what we do and why it is so important.</div>
<div>You can express your support by signing the declaration. If you’d like to join - which will only take a few minutes - then please do so before April 1th using the ‘in this form’ link in the message below. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>best regards,</div>
<div>Sander</div>
