Daniel Kammen, CITRIS researcher, UC Berkeley professor and co-principal investigator of the EcoBlock project, was a co-author on a Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report that found that inequity regarding gender, ethnicity and income can exacerbate vulnerability to climate change.
