Daniel Kammen Joins Greener World Media as Editor at Large

The influential international expert on energy issues will contribute editorially and strategically to the publishers of GreenBiz, GreenerBuildings and ClimateBiz.

Greener World Media, publisher of GreenBiz.com and other online media focusing on business and the environment, has announced that Daniel Kammen has been named Editor at Large.

Kammen is one of the leading analysts of national and international energy policy and technology as well as of the economics and policy landscape. He is a professor in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California at Berkeley, as well as professor of Public Policy at Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, a professor of Nuclear Engineering, and director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory. He is consulted regularly by both companies and legislators in the U.S. and around the world, and is a core member of U.C. Berkeley's team that was awarded $500 million by BP this year to fund the Energy Biosciences Institute.

At Greener World Media, Kammen will contribute regular columns to GreenerBuildings as well as GWM's other sites and newsletters, and will provide strategic counsel to GWM's editorial and publishing staff.

"Dan is one of the leading minds in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other clean technologies," says Joel Makower, GWM's Chairman and Executive Editor. "He will play a key role in helping us deepen our editorial strength in these arenas, and in their relationship to climate change, energy security, and other pressing issues."

“The pace of innovation -- scientifically, politically, and within society -- on energy and environmental issues has become staggering,” notes Kammen. “Energy research and action are now in a race to discover new opportunities and challenges. I am thrilled to join the GWM team because networking and the exchange of ideas must evolve to take advantage and nurture these opportunities. GWM is ideally positioned to play that role.”

"Greener World Media's vision is to assemble the best minds in green business," says Pete May, GWM's President and CEO. "We're delighted to have Dan join with Christine Ervin and others we are assembling around Joel Makower and his editorial team.”

Greener World Media is the first media company focused exclusively on the greening of mainstream business and technology. Centered around the acclaimed GreenBiz.com web site, its products also include GreenerBuildings.com, ClimateBiz.com, and the weekly e-newsletter GreenBuzz.
