Born in Zhang County, southeast Gansu in 1963, Bao graduated from Beijing Forestry University with a Ph.D. degree in forestry in 1991.

Bao was the only leading Chinese author of the report “Climate Change 2007: Working Group II: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability,” one of the IPCC reports that were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
