| Need to explain to people what climate change means in daily life: UN environ chief | 25.2.2022 | General News |
| United Nations environment chief Erik Solheim has said spouting “doom and gloom” while talking about climate change will not work and stressed that there was a need to present it in a “simpler” language that explains to people what it really means for them in their daily lives.

As far as India is concerned, he said, it views environmental issues very much as a moral obligation and has got what it takes to lead the world into this change. Solheim said a lot of people find the topic of climate change “boring”. “The problem with climate change is that its a long-term phenomenon involving some quite complex science.
