“As chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) I cannot take a position because we do not make recommendations…But as a human being I am fully supportive of that goal. What is happening, and what is likely to happen, convinces me that the world must be really ambitious and very determined at moving toward a 350 target.“

The IPCC is responsible for advising the world’s governments on climate change, and will play a crucial role in the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.  You can read the full text of the interview with Pachauri here: Google News
