Incoming UN climate agency chief forecasts wind of change

In an interview with AFP, Saulo, who has run Argentina's National Meteorological Service since 2014, voiced deep concern that some countries were not getting the message about the effects of pumping ever more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

"Are we going to stay waiting for a dramatic end, or are we going to fight for our kids and our future? We are going to fight. I'm sure about that, and I will do that." "We are under a huge global crisis which is the combination of climate change and inactivity," she said, vowing to strengthen the WMO's coordination and innovation.

"In the WMO, we care about what happens with the less-developed world and the small island states. The problem is that we don't have specific programmes to address their needs," she said.
