BAN APPOINTS FORMER LEADERS OF GHANA, NORWAY AS SPECIAL ENVOYS ON
CLIMATE CHANGENew York, Dec 23 2013 1:00PM

The United Nations efforts to stem climate change got a boost today
with the appointment of two special envoys to mobilize political will
and action ahead of the 2014 Climate Summit.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
<"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2013/sga1448.doc.htm">said today
he appointed former President of Ghana, John Kufour, and former
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, as his Special Envoys on
Climate Change, an issue "that is of the highest importance to the
future of our planet".


Their engagement with world leaders will assist with discussions at
the 2014 Climate Summit he plans to convene in New York in September
during the annual General Assembly meeting.

As part of their work, the Special Envoys will assist Mr. Ban in his
consultations with world leaders to raise the level of ambition to
address climate change and to accelerate action, and provide strategic
advice, according to today's statement.

In his opening address to the current General Assembly this past
September, Mr. Ban invited leaders from Governments, businesses and
civil society organizations "to bring bold announcements and actions
to the 2014 Climate Summit to raise the level of ambition through new
and more robust action on climate change".

He said the Summit will be "an important milestone" to mobilize
political commitment towards a universal legal agreement that is
expected to be hammered out at the UN-led climate talks in Paris,
France, in 2015.

The outcome of that UN Climate Change Conference, which would not
enter force until 2020, would cut climate-altering greenhouse gas
emissions and build climate resilient communities.

Mr. Kufour and Mr. Stoltenberg are recognized for their commitment to
public police and environmental work.

As its President, Mr. Kufour led Ghana to become the first country in
Sub-Saharab Africa to cut in half the proportion of people who suffer
from hunger and poverty, and those living on less than a dollar per
day.

He also served as Chairman of the Sanitation and Water for All
Partnership, among other positions.

Mr. Stoltenberg, who worked with Mr. Ban before on climate change, led
a 21-member High Level Advisory Group on Climate Financing along with
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi.

The Panel found that mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 for
climate financing would be challenging, but feasible.
"If we are to reach this goal, we will need a mix of new public
sources, a scaling-up of existing public sources and increased private
flows," the Panel's report highlighted.

In 2010, Mr. Stoltenberg convened a group consisting of the most
important forest countries to coordinate and contribute to measures
against deforestation in these countries and to give forests a central
role in a new climate agreement.Dec 23 2013 1:00PM
