Chinese glaciologist and climate scientist Qin Dahe has won this year's Volvo Environment Prize for his cryospheric science and global climate change research. An award ceremony will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, on November 26.

Involved in the preparation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment reports since 1998, Qin attracted wide attention last year with a report on how climate change leads to extreme weather events.

The Volvo Environment Prize was established in 1988 and is awarded annually to people who have made outstanding scientific discoveries concerning the environment and sustainable development.
