If Ms Figueres were selected, she would be a striking departure from the eight men who have run the UN so far.
She is widely credited with helping to re-energise global climate action after the disastrous failure of a 2009 Copenhagen meeting aimed at sealing the accord finally struck in Paris.
She previously spent many years representing Costa Rica in climate negotiations but has little of the broader foreign policy experience held by most UN secretaries-general.
Ms Figueres conceded on Thursday she faced a learning curve on peace and security issues but her recent experience in shepherding through the Paris accord showed she was an effective diplomat.

Not really. Anyone two year old could do what she did if the two year old spoke what liberals want to hear. The Paris accord was overloaded with liberals.
Sorry lady. Barack the Kenyan already called dibs on that gig. Go find something somewhere else.
