NORWAY-UN-CLIMATE-SEED-BANK-BAN
UN chief Ban Ki-moon (2nd R), flanked by Norwegian Environment Minister Erik Solheim (L) and Norwegian Agriculture and Food Minister Lars Peder Brekk (R), talks during a press conference after visiting the Global Seed Vault, a vault carved into the Arctic permafrost filled with samples of the world's most important seeds, on September 2, 2009 in Longyearbyen, Norway. Aimed at safeguarding biodiversity in the face of climate change, wars and other natural and man-made disasters, the seed bank has the capacity to hold up to 4.5 million batches of seeds, or twice the number of crop varieties believed to exist in the world today.
