<P>Our teams across various regions have been busy keeping the climate

<P>We are preparing our plans for the next months and would like to share
in this issue some stories that have been inspiring us very much. We hope
you get as excited as we are – and while you wait to know more, you can

together to explore how we can genuinely stand in solidarity with each
