“OECD work on climate change economics and policy is at the frontlines in the international policy arena and is highly regarded in academic circles. It has been a privilege to be part of this team and to establish and lead the work program on adaptation to climate change.

I also had the privilege of serving as Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) for the chapter on adaptation for the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Not only did OECD encourage me to take on this role but it also provided a generous flexible environment that made it possible for me to fulfill these dual and highly demanding responsibilities.”
