Just a few days back The Nobel Foundation announced its 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and it was doubly shared between Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Al-Gore. What has made the headlines all over the globe was Al-Gore’s efforts to make a difference on the Climate Change, but little was heard about the brilliant team of scientists working within the team in the IPCC
The IPCC consists of a large number of scientists across the world of which one happens to be a Pakistani, Prof Dr. Adil Najam. We in the blogoshpere already know Dr. Adil Najam for his outstanding efforts at a very popular Pakistani blog called All Things Pakistan but he also teaches at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, US.
Prof Adil Najam has served as an expert on this prestigious panel for eight years, and as a Convening Lead Author for its most recent report. Along with other scientists on the panel he helped shape the findings of the IPCC, especially on issues related sustainable development and other developing country interests.
Well done Adil Bhai.

I knew Adil Najam was bound to be associated with people of such caliber. I wish is his own Nobel Prize soon 🙂 He is the kind of people we need in our policy making and lobbying.
I second Phil … pride of Pakistanis 🙂
Wishing him lots of success … rarely have I heard of someone so dynamic in one’s personality, specially if that one is a Pakistani too.
Prayers & Well done Adil bhai 🙂
It feels so Good when I hear of a Pakistani doing a Great Job!
Best Wishes For All the Pakistanis!
*Dreamy* I dream of studying (any kind of) Diplomacy at Tufts 🙁 *Sigh*
Asma, we are just unlucky most of the time, warna there is no doubt that us Pakistanis can do a lot more if given the chance, sans all the negativity that comes from our own people.
This is great news. Prof. Najam is one of the finest scientist, thinker and teacher around. As this shows, his expertise extends in many different areas. Congratulations to him for a very well-deserved recognition.
It just feels doubly good because, to coin a phrase, he literally wrote the blog on Pakistaniat.
Phil, this should be inspiration and motivation for more of us to get involved in things that make the world a better place–both within Pakistan and on the global level. The Teeth Maestro himself is another example of that.
Thanks for leting us know Teeth especially in these times of chaos it is a great news.
Congratulations to Adil Najam.
