Chancellor Merkel's G8 Advisor to Speak at the IEA

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, G8 Advisor to German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and co-author of the Stern Report will address the members of the IEA on the topic of the G8 summit and implications for the global climate change regime.

Professor Schellnhuber, a world leader in the field, is the Director of Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and was previously Research Director of the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. He has consistently stressed the importance of the G8 summit in establishing a "road atlas" which could provide a global picture on climate change and form the basis for collective action on the issue.
