Achim Steiner Interview

“I see my role as a professional with a mission: to enable people to acknowledge multiple perspectives … and to work from there to move forward.”

Achim Steiner is the Executive Director of the UNEP, UN-Under-Secretary General, and Director-General of the UN Office at Nairobi. In this interview, Achim reflects on his professional experiences as Secretary-General of the World Commission on Dams, where he managed the process of bringing together the public sector, the civil society and the private sector in a global policy process on dams and development. Based on his work, Achim emphasizes the importance of moving the discourse on environment issues from an accusatory and finger-pointing one to one of hope, opportunity, and enabling.
