· To publish and distribute papers and commentaries produced by members of the Coalition.
· To audit statements by other organizations, both in New Zealand and overseas, which are published in New Zealand, or are expected to influence New Zealand public policy and public opinion.
· To audit the forthcoming 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), either on its own, or through the Asia Pacific Climate Science Coalition, or equivalent when formed.
