Christiana Figueres Interview on Climate Change

Climate Change is a development issue and it is completely impossible to separate it from the development. If climate change continues unchecked, the estimation is, the development achievements that the world had made over the past 20 years will be threatened and we will go back in terms of health, agriculture, food security and water availability. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for this intimate interlining between climate and development to be the focus of Rio+20 [20th anniversary of the 1992 Rio meeting]. And the entire world will be looking at this link between climate change and development, said Christina Figueres, Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework on Climate Change Convention [UNFCCC] in an exclusive interview with Mohammad Shehzad, editor www.pol-dev.com for Climate Development Knowledge Network [CDKN] and Leadership for Environment And Development [LEAD] Pakistan.
