Sources: Christiana Figueres to Seek Post of United Nations Secretary General

摘要

Christiana Figueres, the outgoing executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and one of the driving forces behind last year's Paris Agreement, will add her name to the list of candidates to replace UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, multiple UN sources and other observers told Bloomberg BNA. Figueres, who will step down July 7 after six years as the UN's top climate change official, lacks the typical background in security, peacekeeping and development that many candidates for the secretary general job have.
