I would also like to express my gratitude to the governments who are the decision makers as far as the panel is concerned and who have facilitated the work of the IPCC. So I'm only in a sense accepting this enormous recognition on the behalf of the entire scientific community which includes thousands of scientists and experts from all over the world."

STORYLINE
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said he was overwhelmed to receive the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize but said the award really belonged to the scientific community.
"(The scientific community) are the ones that have really contributed to the work of the IPCC. I would also like to express my gratitude to the governments who are the decision makers as far as the panel is concerned and who have facilitated the work of the IPCC," Pachauri said.
The IPCC was awarded the accolade together with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore for their efforts to build up and disseminate knowledge about man-made climate change and to lay the foundations for fighting it.
Pachauri said Gore phoned him soon after learning that they were to share the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, and said that they should work together to combat climate change.
Pachauri has been urging industrial and developing nations to act quickly to fight climate change.
"Well, the future really requires that we have to work harder we have to ensure that this responsibility which the award, the recognition carries is something that we discharged fully with much more greater level of dedication and commitment than we've been able to provide so far, and I promise you I personally will certainly do that," he said.
IPCC spokeswoman Carola Traverso Saibante told The Associated Press in Geneva that the Nobel selection came as a surprise and that the UN body would have been happy even if Gore had received the accolade alone because it was a recognition of important issues.
The IPCC, which was set up in 1988, has produced scientific studies on the risk of human-induced climate change.
Earlier this year the panel forecast that all regions of the world will change from climate warming and that a third of the Earth's species would vanish if global temperatures reach 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above the average temperature in the 1980s-90s.
