During the press conference Klaus Töpfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Philippe Roch, Director of the Swiss Agency for the Environment, Forests and Landscape (SAEFL) and Laurent Moutinot, State Councillor of Geneva Canton, stressed the importance of this building as a place for people from the many international environmental organisations in Geneva to exchange ideas and look together for potentially positive interactions.
