Prof. Hans J. Schellnhuber
Born on June 7, 1950
Climate Scientist, Germany
Founder and Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)
He used his background as a physicist to analyze the mechanisms of global warming and predicted that the earth would suffer irreparable damage if the temperature continues to rise. He has pressed for us to take steps to reduce the temperature increase to below 2 degrees C to prevent such damage.
The endeavors mentioned above led to the Two-Degree Goal included in the Paris Agreement.
