An economist and environmental scientist of international repute, Pachauri is presently the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He is also the Director-General of TERI (Tata Energy Research Institute) - an institute dedicated to sustainable development. Pachauri was in the limelight recently when IPCC, along with the former US Vice President Al Gore, won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 and Pachauri received the award on behalf of IPCC.
During his visit to the HEC campus, Pachauri will engage students in a lecture focused on environmental issues and the problem of global warming.
HEC Paris has invested dedicated faculty resources to address issues related to sustainable development. Six years ago HEC launched a Specialized Master’s program on sustainability (2003) and has led the Deloitte Chair on Energy Management since 2006.
