معرفی
Rachel Warren is a Professor of Global Change and Environmental Biology at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, and a member of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. Her research focuses on policy-relevant science for climate change mitigation and adaptation, with a strong emphasis on quantifying the benefits of limiting global warming to 1.5–2°C. She leads the development of the Community Integrated Assessment System (CIAS), linking climate, impact, and economic models. Warren has contributed significantly to the IPCC assessments, including the 5th Assessment Report and the Special Report on 1.5°C. Her work intersects climate science, biodiversity conservation, and socio-economic dimensions, addressing issues like land-use policy, energy-water nexus, and climate justice.
Education: PhD in Physics (University of Cambridge, 1989), BA in Natural Sciences (University of Cambridge, 1985).
Research Interests: Integrated assessment modeling, climate policy design, avoided impacts of mitigation, biodiversity conservation under climate change, and climate change risk assessment. She prioritizes translating scientific findings into actionable policy frameworks, particularly for the Paris Agreement goals.
Scientific Awards: Fellowship of the Royal Meteorological Society (2024), Adjunct Professor at Griffith University (2024), and NOAA Outstanding Scientific Paper Award (1993 for work on ozone depletion).
Grants & Collaborations: Leads major projects like OpenCLIM_LANDS (UKRI-funded, 2024–2027) and Is Carbon Dioxide Removal a Neo-Colonial Risk to Biodiversity in South Africa? (Royal Society, 2025–2027). Collaborates globally on climate-resilient land management, wildfire mitigation, and socio-economic resilience frameworks.
Labs & Teams: Heads the Integrated Modelling team at the Tyndall Centre and contributes to international networks like the AVOID programme and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) policy support.
