The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is greatly saddened to learn of the death of Dr Leonard Brown, who passed away on 3 February 2013.
Len was an active member of the Bureau of the IPCC Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI) from September 2008 until he retired from New Zealand’s Ministry for the Environment in September 2012. His work on inventories and in climate negotiations won him international respect.
Len was born in 1966. He is survived by his wife Pam and two children Nina and Frasier.
