UN Climate Change Director - Dr Achim Steiner

The United Nations' chief environmentalist may have flown half-way round the world to celebrate World Environment Day in New Zealand, but it was the Terminator who stole the show, by video link.

UN Environment Programme executive director Achim Steiner has spent the past few days in Auckland where he is helping put the international spotlight on World Environment Day, this year hosted by New Zealand for the first time.

Today is officially World Environment Day but yesterday Auckland business leaders were treated to a special appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Governor of California, at a breakfast meeting held at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron headquarters at Westhaven.

Mr Steiner was there as the special guest of the NZ Business Council for Sustainable Development
