OSLO: India’s Rajendra Pachauri stepped down as chair of the UN panel of climate scientists on Tuesday after allegations of sexual harassment, which he has denied.
Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since 2002, pulled out of an IPCC meeting in Kenya this week after Indian police started an investigation into a sexual harassment complaint against him.
Pachauri has denied the allegations, according to an Indian court order. Pachauri, who has been chair of the IPCC since 2002 and whose term had been due to end in October 2015, has also suffered cardiac problems. (PTI)
