Rajendra K. Pachauri
Rajendra Kumar Pachauri (born August 20, 1940, Nainital, India) was elected chief of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2002.
IPCC shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. In 2001 he supported a consumer boycott of ExxonMobil for its stance on global warming, saying it was "a good way to put economic pressure on the US." At that time he was serving as the Director of the Board of the Indian Oil Corporation. [1], [2] He has said:
- The Third Assessment Report (TAR) of the IPCC clearly states that the risks associated with climate change have the potential to undermine progress towards sustainable development, such as, damages from extreme climate events, water shortage and degraded water quality, food supply disruptions and hunger, land degradation, and diminished human health. [3]
Pachauri also serves as the head of the Energy and Resources Institute, formerly known as Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI)of India, an institution devoted to sustainable development.
Pauchari was educated at La Martiniere Boys' College in Lucknow, India.[4] He obtained an M.S. in industrial engineering in 1972, a Ph.D. in industrial engineering, and a Ph.D. in economics from North Carolina State University.
In acknowledgement of his environmental contributions, Pachauri was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2001 -- one of India's highest civilian awards that recognizes distinguished service to the nation.
