Head of UN climate change on Singapore

[zeroo]

ST 2Mar2015: Ms Figueres, who is on a two-day visit here, said Singapore was a good example of how integrating nature with urban planning has helped it control the city's heat, and protect and increase biodiversity.

"When I was riding a bicycle in the city, I almost felt like this was the city of the future. It has been so well-planned, with concentrated urban populations that nonetheless have access to very efficient public transportation and nature," she said.

She added that Singapore could act as a role model for developing nations that are quickly becoming more urbanised, and also help other small island states that do not have its resources.

it's no mystery that sg is one of the best-planned cities of the world. imagine having an infinity pool 57 storeys up, and it spans longer than a football field. and the breathtaking skyline around it.

you can even do your freestyle at olympic speed for the entire length of the pool, and you thought you're swimming in the sky.

From photo she looks and dresses like Ah Neh
Called shitskins in Sammyboy forum
She should just shut her mouth up and resolve
Scandal surrounding her predecessor
Another shitskin accused of sexual harassment
When her countrymen can't even
Get sanitation right shitting in open in preference
To using modern flushing toilets
How many farking decades after independence
Climate will definitely be better
If the world is rid of smelly and useless shitskins

I always said most XXXXX cannot be trusted
Especially loose cannons who dance at Hong Lim
Wild claims of sleeping only two hours per night
Work to save daft Sinkies from being screwed
Balls understand due to poking fleshy holes
Suddenly grew FAT from Lightning bribes


Head of UN climate change panel, steps down amid sexual harassment allegations

The leader of the UN's expert panel on climate change stepped down yesterday amid an investigation into a colleague's allegations of sexual harassment.

Rajendra Pachauri, 75, an Indian citizen, had chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since 2002 and accepted the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on its behalf.

The panel on climate change "needs strong leadership and dedication of time and full attention by the chair in the immediate future, which under the current circumstances I may be unable to provide," Pachauri wrote in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

He did not elaborate, but pointed to his withdrawal from a meeting in Nairobi this week to attend to what the IPCC called "issues demanding his attention in India". Pachauri is being investigated in India after a 29-year-old woman accused him of sexually harassing her while they had worked together at the New Delhi lobbying and research organisation he heads, The Energy Resources Institute.

A police report said the woman gave police dozens of text messages and emails that she alleged had been sent by Pachauri. A Delhi court on Monday ordered Pachauri to cooperate in the investigation.

Pachauri denies the allegations and has said he is "committed to provide all assistance and cooperation to the authorities"

Police said they would question a second woman who also accused Pachauri of sexual harassment but had not filed a police report.

The IPCC said its vice chairman, Ismail El Gizouli, would serve as its acting chairman and a vote on a new head of the panel had already been scheduled for October.

Pachauri's second term as chairman was due to end then, and he had said that he wouldn't run for a third term.

He has also taken leave from his position at the lobbying group

The accusations against Pachauri have caused outrage in India, where women face a stigma against discussing issues such as sexual harassment at work.
