This week I welcomed Gideon Behar, the new Ambassador of Israel to Kenya, to Nairobi.
As a keen environmentalist and former Special Envoy for Climate Change and Sustainability, I count on his past experience and expertise to support efforts in his new role as @unep.org Permanent Representative.

A giant intellect. A wonderful man. A dedicated diplomat.
Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. David Malone. As Canada’s former Permanent Representative to the UN, he championed a UN that truly serves its Member States - an approach that truly enhanced @ununiversity.bsky.social while he was Rector
