Pan was initially employed in the People's Liberation Army from 1976 to 1982 and then worked as a journalist for various newspapers.

In the West, Pan's attitude to openly addressing the social problems and environmental degradation in China caused a stir. He advocates that a "green gross domestic product " is calculated in China by subtracting the environmental damage from the value of the nominal gross domestic product. In January 2005, he stopped the construction of 30 major projects that had bypassed an environmental audit. In 2010 he was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Prize together with Fu Qiping .
Pan is married to the daughter of Liu Huaqing , a former vice president of the Central Military Commission.
