When Erik Solheim tweeted about his nomination to become the next head of the UN Environment Program, he chose a photo of a desperate polar bear perched on top of a melting piece of Arctic ice. That was a message of how important the High North will be – even as he sets off south, to Nairobi.
UN important on environment and climate
The Arctic – a key priority
Cooperation between governments and business
Norway is a leader
I am humbled and honored to be nominated to lead @UNEP. Will do my best to continue great work of @ASteiner & team! pic.twitter.com/YWAHFh8KE5
