NTV Kenya Reports On ‘Historic’ Meeting Of Current And Former UNEP Leaders At GEG Forum

The GEG Forum began two days ago on June 28. Reporting on the Forum’s “historic reunion of four former Executive Directors of UNEP” and current UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner, NTV Kenya’s Joe Ageyo explains that for Forum is meant to “bridge the gap” between the founders of the environmental movement and the “new generation that is stepping into their shoes.” Dr. Maurice Strong, the founding Executive Director of UNEP, explained to Ageyo, “The problems we identified 40 years ago, have now become far more acute — to the point where they literally threaten the future of life on Earth.” Together the former and current UNEP leaders called on world leaders to “seal the deal” at the upcoming climate change negotiations in Copenhagen.
