Time for Experimentation and Marginal Changes by Oil and Gas Industry Is Over， Says UNFCCC Head Christiana Figueres.

The UN’s top climate change official Christiana Figueres called on the oil and gas industry to undertake a radical transformation towards a new， sustainable energy mix in order to align itself with the physical and political realities of climate change.

Ms. Figueres， Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change， was speaking to a meeting of IPIECA， the global oil and gas industry association for environmental and social issues.

She made her remarks the same week as the release of the latest findings of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）， which make clear that people around the world are already suffering from climate change， and that climate change increases the risk of armed conflict around the world as it worsens poverty and economic shocks.
