BIO: Dr Rajendra K. Pachauri received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2007 on behalf of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which he heads. One of the top world experts on climate change, environment and development he heads The Energy and Resources Institute, an international think tank and scientific research organization headquartered in New Delhi with centers around the world. This year, he was also appointed director of the Yale Climate and Energy Institute.
Dr Pachauri started out as an engineer, which gives him a unique insight
into environmental issues. He has PhDs in industrial engineering and in
economics from North Carolina State University in Raleigh and has taught at
several U.S. Universities.
He has advised the Indian government on environment and energy policies and
TERI was the major contributor to the Indian government’s policy on climate
policy announced last year.
As chairman of the IPCC, he guided the organization in producing its
monumental survey, The Fourth Assessment Report on climate change, which
reflects the international scientific consensus on the immediacy and gravity
of the climate change problem. The Nobel Prize was principally in
recognition of the IPCC’s role in drawing global attention to the imminent
dangers from climate change.
An important aspect of Dr Pachauri’s work has been to look for solutions to
climate change problems that also take into account the alleviation of
poverty and development, while trying to build international consensus in
dealing with it.
