Founder's Medal · Professor Diana Liverman ‘for encouraging,
developing and promoting understanding of the human dimensions of

instrumental in the first generation of climate change impacts
modelling, which focused the attention of the policy community on the

key roles with the US National Academy of Sciences, most recently on
the new committee on ‘America’s Climate Choices’, and as recent
Director of the Oxford University Environmental Change Institute.
