A Lifetime in Climate Research
Professor Bert Bolin has been Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since 1988 when the IPCC was established. He relinquishes the position in September 1997. It was an appropriate time to speak with Professor Bolin about his many and varied experiences as an active and influential participant in the international debate on climate change. Published September 1997
