UN鈥檚 new weather chief

THE United Nations’ new weather chief said yesterday his priority was to improve early warning systems to predict increasing natural disasters sparked by climate change.

Finn Petteri Taalas, the new head of the 191-nation Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization, also said these alert systems were not up to the mark in many countries.

“It’s evident that we have already seen ... that weather-related disasters are growing,” he said.
