UN climate change chief talks on his move to Big Four firm
Yvo de Boer, KPMG’s latest climate change tsar, said he was in discussions to

The
Guardian reports.
De Boer said he did not have the stamina to see another two years following
the talks.
“This isn’t the sort of job you get in six weeks after Copenhagen…When

on ice and stick around for a while to see it through. But it could take another
two years … and I don’t think I’ve got the stamina,” he said.
