Paul Baer
Post-Doctoral Fellow; Director of EcoEquity
Stanford University and EcoEquity

Paul Baer recently completed his PhD in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley, addressing climate change policy with a focus on equity and uncertainty. He is currently a post-doctoral scholar at the Center for Environmental Science and Policy at Stanford Univeristy, where he is part of an interstate, interdisciplinary group studying humans, forest fire and climate change in Alaska. He has published on topics including the equitable allocation of emissions rights and liability for climate damages, and co-founded the group EcoEquity to advocate the principle of equal rights to global common resources. His work on the probabilistic analysis of "dangerous climate change" has been presented at the American Geophysical Union, Hadley Centre's 2005 conference on Preventing Dangerous Climate Change, and the recent workshop of the US Climate Change Science Program. He is a reviewer for Climatic Change and Climate Policy, as well as for all three working groups of the IPCC.
