5 June 2008: Kandeh Yumkella, Director-General of the UN
Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), emphasized low-emissions economic
development as an element of the solution to climate change in his statement to
commemorate World Environment Day on 5 June.
On the occasion, he stressed that “unless all nations and
their industries agree to follow a sustainable, low carbon path in their

but will also undo economic progress.” He also emphasized that “Such a scenario
is inconceivable without technology and know-how development and dissemination
at its heart.” [UNIDO
