2020 年 1 月 31 日 IPCC 2018 年 10 月關於全球升溫 1.5 ˚C 的特別報告（IPCC 2018）是對全球氣候變化威脅的鮮明提醒，並強烈呼籲減輕它。
儘管挑戰不斷增加，但我們的綠色經濟工具從未如此強大。今天的關鍵是迅速擴大符合 IPCC 1.5 指南的技術、經濟、社會和公平社會和政策方法的“解決方案科學”。
為了實現這一系列看似不可能的目標，不僅在加利福尼亞這樣資源豐富的經濟體，而且在地球上一些最貧窮的地方，都需要一個積極的創新到行動的管道。這種以使用為靈感、以任務為導向的研究和擴大規模的推動將前所未有地依賴於加州。測試和實施有利於弱勢群體（而不僅僅是富人）的新技術，建設碳智能基礎設施，保護和修復退化和保護不足的自然區域，都必須迅速上升到地方和全球議程。
Daniel M. Kammen 博士自 1999 年起擔任加州大學伯克利分校的能源教授，在能源和資源小組（並擔任主席）、高盛公共政策學院和核工程系任職. Kammen 是可再生能源和適當能源實驗室 (RAEL; http://rael.berkeley.edu) 的創始主任。他曾擔任交通可持續性研究中心主任，並創立或擔任過 10 多家公司的董事會成員，曾以專家和顧問身份為加利福尼亞州和美國聯邦政府提供服務。
Kammen 博士是政府間氣候變化專門委員會 (IPCC) 的協調主要作者，該委員會於 2007 年獲得諾貝爾和平獎。他被任命為第一個美洲環境與氣候夥伴關係 (ECPA)，並被美國國務委員會秘書任命為研究員。 2010 年 4 月，希拉里·克林頓 (Hilary R. Clinton) 州政府。
他撰寫或合著了 12 本書，撰寫了 300 多篇經過同行評審的期刊出版物，40 多次在美國州和聯邦國會簡報會上作證，並為各國政府提供了 50 多份技術報告。他還曾在全球環境基金技術審查委員會任職多年。他經常為國際新聞媒體撰稿或評論，包括《新聞周刊》、《時代》、《紐約時報》、《衛報》和《金融時報》。他主持了探索頻道系列節目“生態城”，並曾兩次出現在 NOVA 和“60 分鐘”上。
Kammen 博士獲得了物理學的本科（康奈爾大學 A.，B. '84）和研究生（哈佛 M.A. '86，Ph.D. '88）。在加州理工學院和哈佛大學博士後工作後，他於 1993 年至 1998 年擔任普林斯頓大學科學、技術和環境政策教授和主席。2010 年至 2011 年期間，他擔任世界銀行集團可再生能源和能源效率首席技術專家，以及在政策、技術和運營方面提供戰略領導。
2020年1月31日 IPCC’s October 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ˚C (IPCC 2018) is a stark reminder of the global climate-change threat and a strongly motivating call to abate it.
While the challenges keep growing, our tools to green the economy have never been greater. What is critical today is to rapidly scale up the ‘solutions science’ of technical, economic, social, and equitable social and policy approaches that are in keeping with the IPCC 1.5 guideline.
To accomplish this seemingly impossible set of objectives, an aggressive innovation-to-action pipeline is needed, not just in resource-rich economies like California, but in some of the poorest places on the planet. This push of use-inspired, mission-driven research and scale-up will depend on California like never before. Testing and implementing new technologies that benefit the disadvantaged, not just the affluent, building carbon-smart infrastructure, and preserving and repairing degraded and under-protected natural areas all must rise rapidly to local and global agendas.
Dr. Daniel M. Kammen is Professor of Energy at the University of California, Berkeley since 1999, where he holds appointments in the Energy and Resources Group (and serves as chair), the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the Department of Nuclear Engineering. Kammen is the founding director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory (RAEL; http://rael.berkeley.edu). He has served as Director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center and has founded or is on the board of over 10 companies, having served the State of California and US federal government in expert and advisory capacities.
Dr. Kammen is a coordinating lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. He was appointed to the first Environment and Climate Partnership for the Americas (ECPA) and a Fellow by Secretary of State Hilary R. Clinton in April 2010.
He has authored or co-authored 12 books, written more than 300 peer-reviewed journal publications, testified more than 40 times to U.S. state and federal congressional briefings and has provided various governments with more than 50 technical reports. He also served for many years on the Technical Review Board of the Global Environment Facility. He is a frequent contributor to or commentator in international news media, including Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Financial Times. He hosted the Discovery Channel series ‘Ecopolis, and had appeared on NOVA, and on ’60 Minutes’ twice.
Dr. Kammen received his undergraduate (Cornell A., B. ’84) and graduate (Harvard M. A. ’86, Ph.D. ’88) in Physics. After postdoctoral work at Caltech and Harvard, he was professor and Chair of the Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at Princeton University from 1993 – 1998. During 2010-2011 he served as the World Bank Group’s Chief Technical Specialist for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency and provided strategic leadership on policy, technical, and operational fronts.
