Biography|Achim Steiner — Born on the Plateau at Carazinho

People treat UN environment chiefs as products of European ministries.
Achim Steiner was born on 17 May 1961 in Carazinho, a plateau town in Rio Grande do Sul.
His parents, Helga and Roland Steiner, were German agronomists who had come to work on cereal seed for Brazil's breweries.
The family lived on a farm. That pin is not published.
A 2023 interview with GZH in Porto Alegre recorded him saying he learned to ride before he walked.
Carazinho's parish matrix church still stands on the town grid, a public face of a municipality founded in 1931.
He went to primary school in this town.
When he was eight the family moved to Porto Alegre for two years.
At ten they left Brazil for West Germany.
The Brazilian passport stayed. So did the German one.
The farm remains private. The church and the square are where a visitor can stand without knocking on anyone's door.
