		</div><p>The former chairman of the UN climate panel has been removed from his job as head of an energy institute in India following allegations of sexual harassment.</p>
<p>The governing council of the energy and resources institute announced that Rajendra Pachauri would be replaced by Arun Mathur, an energy efficiency expert.</p>
<p>Although no reasons were given for Mr Pachauri’s replacement, the council said the decision was taken keeping in view interests of the state-funded institute and its 1,200 employees working in different parts of the world.</p>
<p>Mr Pachauri, 75, resigned from the UN’s intergovernmental panel on climate change in February, after a 29-year-old woman accused him of stalking and sexually harassing her while they worked together at the institute. He denies the allegations.</p>
<p>No formal charges have been filed, but a court in February prohibited him from entering or contacting anyone at the institute.</p>
<p>Mr Pachauri’s removal follows protests after a Delhi court last week allowed him to return to work at the institute.</p>
<p>In the past couple of years, India has seen a wave of public anger and protest over a socially conservative nation’s chronic problem with sexual harassment and violence against women.</p>
<p>Mr Pachauri has chaired the climate panel since 2002, and accepted the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on its behalf.</p>
<p>The panel had shared the award with Al Gore, a former US vice president and environmental campaigner.</p>
