Martin Parry
Long before climate change was widely recognized as a major problem, Parry’s team analyzed how climate changes will impact on crop productivity. The project researched how these impacts will affect economies, societies, and the environment, and the practical
policies to respond to such changes.
More than 20 years later, the British geographer continues to lead international teams of researchers in this field. He is currently the co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Working Group II, and so shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with all IPCC scientists.
