2008:  Ban hopes 'Cool UN' will lead by example in battle against global warming

The world's top diplomat, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, appeared at work Friday wearing a short sleeved shirt without a suit jacket or a tie. Surrounded by his senior managers in relaxed outfits on the 38th floor of the UN headquarters building, he was advocating a recently unveiled one-month pilot project, "Cool UN," an energy-saving initiative that was inspired by the Japanese "Cool Biz" campaign and other existing programs around the world.

"I'm a rather formal type of person, but I'm committed to leading by example," said Secretary General Ban. "You can feel very comfortable. Even in conducting diplomacy I think this is good."

2008:  Brrr…It’s Cold in Here! « On The Scene « FOXNews.com

I mistakenly entered Ban’s conference room upon arrival – actually, so did a number of other reporters – only to find it as chilly as a meat locker. “COOL U.N.” indeed.

That led to some rather heated informal questioning of the U.N. boss after we were brought into the room where he was to discuss his ostensibly energy-saving initiative. Here’s how it went:

ME: Quick question, Secretary General. I notice this room is warm, but the room next door, the conference room, felt like an icebox. Why is the room next to this one so cold?

BAN: I have been feeling at times very warm in this room. So I had to move sometimes to my next door conference room.
