He served as administrator of the United Nations Development Program, chaired President Jimmy Carter’s Council on Environmental Quality, was founder and president of the World Resources Institute, and is co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council. His bestseller, "Red Sky at Morning: America and the Crisis of the Global Environment", was awarded Japan’s Blue Planet Prize for "creative and visionary leadership in the search for science-based solutions to global environmental problems."
