Alicia Bárcena, Secretaria Ejecutiva de la Comisión Económica de las Naciones Unidas para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), afirma en una entrevista en "C2GTalk" que es necesario un debate mundial y regional para conocer y crear una gobernanza de los enfoques que alteran el clima, como la modificación de la radiación solar. Las comisiones regionales de la ONU, entre ellas la CEPAL, pueden desempeñar un papel importante a la hora de reunir a diversos actores en este debate, incluidos expertos públicos y privados en medio ambiente, energía, finanzas, economía y planificación.

A global and regional discussion is needed to learn about and create governance for climate-altering approaches like solar radiation modification, says Alicia Bárcena, executive secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), during a C2GTalk interview.
The UN's regional commissions, including ECLAC, can play an important role in bringing together a diverse range of actors in this discussion, including public and private experts in environment, energy, finance, economy, and planning.
At the end of this C2GTalk, Bárcena said “And someday we will have to pay tribute to Maurice Strong . . . I think of him quite a lot. I believe that he was really anticipating so many of these things. So hopefully someday we and C2G can do something about it”. On behalf of Bárcena and Janos Pasztor this C2GTalk is dedicated to the memory of Maurice Strong.
Alicia Bárcena assumed office as the executive secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) on July 1, 2008. She had previously served as the under-secretary-general for management at United Nations Headquarters in New York, chef de cabinet, and deputy chef de cabinet to the former secretary-general, Kofi Annan.
