Simon Stiell sits for an interview to discuss his new role as the executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2022, at U.N. headquarters. Stiell was the environment and climate resilience minister on the small island nation of Grenada until a few weeks ago.
