UN weather agency chooses next chief to lead climate change fight
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is set to elect a new leader this week to bolster global efforts in tracking climate change.
Four candidates, including two women, are vying for the position. The WMO’s role in climate change has gained prominence, and the new secretary-general is expected to become a prominent advocate on this urgent global issue.
The election will conclude the WMO’s general assembly, which focuses on ramping up climate response and supporting countries in climate adaptation. The new leader will assume office on 1 January 2024.
