Copenhagen Climate Council
Members

Daniel M. Kammen

"The scientific verdict on climate change is long-since decided; we must act now, not in a decade, but now. The financial case has also become clear: It is past time to create the new clean and low-carbon energy economy. The Copenhagen Climate Council is the right venue at the right time to forge new understanding of the opportunities to blend best science with progressive economics to create new business opportunities that can bring about the energy system we want, not just tinker with the one we inherited."
Professor and co-Director, Berkeley Institute of the Environment
