BERLIN, 23 June 2022 - At the GreenTech Festival, UNIDO’s Director General, Gerd Müller, told participants, “A world without hunger is possible. Stopping climate change is possible. A zero-carbon economy is possible.”

Speaking on a panel discussion titled, “Are we really ready for a zero-carbon economy”, Müller said UNIDO is coordinating investments, new technologies and digitalization, and has many projects and initiatives to build a functioning zero-carbon economy.

He called on “young, tech-savvy people, multipliers and influencers” to cooperate with UNIDO.
