Hailing from the tiny Caribbean [Commonwealth] nation of Grenada, he accrued UK degrees, did time with corporates, followed by several ministerial positions for Grenada. Roughly the same level as the mayor of a small Australian city.
Allegedly a true champion at "formulating creative approaches for our collective global response to the climate crisis", he's climbed the greasy UN pole.
When visiting meek Australia, however, this creative champ can take the gloves off. Knowing that Albanese Labor ministers love the punishment.

What on earth is UNFCCC?
United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) is another UN acronym for decades of conspicuous failure.
First effective 1994, its main aim is the "stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system".
More than circular enough, you'd think, to be of little practical use. But that wouldn't reckon on Christiana Figueres, 2010-16 UNFCCC chief.
Applauded by other woke lionesses, she was instrumental in UN adopting the deeply dodgy un-science of "netting" greenhouse-gas emissions to zero by 2050.
The Paris Agreement towards net-zero first came into effect November 2016. Our Liberal prime minister Turnbull was already signed on. Nobody asked voters.

To this day, Liberal-National Coalition is betwixt and between on net-zero. Roasted by "Liberal" Matt Kean, Scott Morrison reluctantly recited the UN rosary. Oddly enough, Peter Dutton angled for a "nuclear net-zero".
That's one outcome from the 2025 election. Voters never get a choice about net-zero or open-borders. They appear to have expressed a view about nuclear.
Sure, net-zero cult is great for China
