Biography|Achim Steiner — The Day He Took UNDP at One UN Plaza

On 19 April 2017 the General Assembly confirmed António Guterres's nomination of Achim Steiner as Administrator of UNDP.
The meeting record said the four-year term began 20 April, succeeding Helen Clark of New Zealand.
UNDP's own welcome dated the first working day to 19 June 2017.
Headquarters is One United Nations Plaza, a Roche-Dinkeloo tower completed in the mid-1970s on the northwest corner of 44th Street and First Avenue.
The offices sit across the avenue from the Secretariat. A hotel occupies the upper floors.
In April 2021 the Assembly confirmed a second four-year term beginning that June.
He also served as vice-chair of the UN Sustainable Development Group.
The two terms ended in June 2025.
The plaza sidewalk is public. The offices behind the hotel lobby are not a tourist stop.
