The Health and Human Rights Approach to Greenhouse Gas Pollution
This CEI site, as a web-based project, was started as a response to the 2008 public statement by James Hansen that the world really had entered a state of climate 'planetary emergency,' which he repeated in 2012.
Peter is a retired medically trained doctor with a background in environmental health protection policy. He is published on global climate change science, climate change impacts, Arctic climate change, risk assessment, and biodiversity.
Peter has presented at many leading science and climate change conferences, including at both the American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference and the European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference.
CEI has been a major stakeholder in United Nations consultations (for FAO, UNEP, Summit of the Future).
Peter has also served as an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) expert reviewer on the 2014 5th Assessment Synthesis Reports (this level required a vetting process of his publications) and the 2018 1.5ºC Special Report.
As a founding director of Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, Peter represented CAPE on federal and provincial expert panels making submissions on environmental health protection policy (1994-1998).
Since 2019, Peter has been an online expert panelist for the Climate Emergency Forum.

About
Climate Emergency Institute
The Climate Emergency Institute started with Dr. Peter Carter of British Columbia, Canada in 2009.
The motivation is our children's future and all future generations (IPCC AR6).
Children's Climate Emergency site
CEI applies health and human rights to global climate change.
