SEVEN DAYS

摘要

Rajendra Pachauri resigned as head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on 24 February, amid allegations of sexual harassment. The accusations were made by a colleague at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the non-profit organization that Pachauri directs in New Delhi, India. The IPCC said that panel vice-president Ismail El Gizouli would step in as acting chair for its session in Nairobi this week. Pachauri became chair of the IPCC in 2002, and was scheduled to complete his second term in office in October.
