Yvo de Boer resigns as top UN climate official
« on: February 18, 2010, 07:40:43 AM »
Yvo de Boer, the UN's top climate change official, says he will resign after nearly four years in the post.

His departure takes effect from 1 July, five months before 193 countries are due to reconvene in Mexico for another attempt at a global deal on climate. ...

Although he'll be replaced, it is clear he wouldn't have resigned if he'd been a stunning success.
