摘要

In the wake of the unexpected announcement that Yvo de Boer, the United Nations' top climate change official, would step down effective July 1, the consensus among participants in the U.N. process is that de Boer's replacement likely will come from a developing country.rnDe Boer said Feb. 18 that he will leave his post July 1 to take a position with consulting firm KPMG (41 ER 365, 2/19/10).
