The Green Climate Fund, which will distribute emissions-cutting money to developing countries, will tomorrow appoint Ajay Mathur as director, before United Nations negotiations begin another round on Nov. 26.

Mathur will start in a “bridging” role at least until a permanent executive director is appointed around the middle of next year, Richard Kinley, deputy executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn, said today by phone. Mathur was previously director general of the Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency in New Delhi, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
