Zampolli says he has worked with several UN environmental projects, including holding functions at the UN like the United Nations Diamond Awards Gala for Renewable Energy and The Friends of Climate Change, in 2008.
The event was personally hosted by Zampolli and Ivanka Trump, among others. It honored such businesspeople as Steve Weisz, chief executive of In Ticketing at the time. Zampolli says Weisz was an adviser to the International Renewable Energy Organization, or IREO, “in association with” the UN Economic and Social Council, one of the world body’s five main organs. The IREO site says it is an intergovernmental agency “supporting nations’ transitions to renewable energy.”
But the organization doesn’t mention Weisz. Moreover, Zampolli says he was the director and special adviser on climate change issues for the organization from 2007-2008, but he is not mentioned on the site, either. (The only person who is listed is a staff member, Jonathan Hill, secretary-general.) |
