BAN NAMES MAURITANIAN AS DEPUTY HEAD OF UN ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMMENew
York, Aug 2 2013 6:00PMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon today announced
the appointment of Ibrahim Thiaw of Mauritania to be the Deputy
Executive Director of the United Nations agency that is the
Organization's voice on environmental issues.

Mr. Thiaw will succeed Amina Mohamed of Kenya as Assistant
Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director of the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).

"His professional career spans the full spectrum of practical work at
national and regional levels to leading global programmes and
experience of United Nations inter-agency and intergovernmental
processes," Mr. Ban's spokesperson's office said in a statement
announcing the appointment.

With more than 30 years of experience in the fields of environment and
sustainable development, Mr. Thiaw joined UNEP in 2007 as Director of
the Division of Environmental Policy Implementation. Prior, he held
senior positions over the course of 15 years with the non-governmental
organization, World Conservation Union (IUCN).

A native of Mauritania, Mr. Thiaw started his career in his home
country serving for a decade in the Ministry of Rural Development.

Mr. Thiaw joins the agency amid the 1,000 days of action to reach the
eight anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) by the 2015 deadline.

Goal 7, on environmental sustainability, includes reducing
biodiversity loss, halving the proportion of population without
sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation,
improving the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by 2020, and
integrating the principles of sustainable development into country
policies and programmes, and reducing the loss of environment
resources.Aug 2 2013 6:00PM
