"UNITED NATIONS - U.N. environment chief Erik Solheim said on Tuesday he had resigned after receiving a final audit of his official travel.

A draft of the report found he traveled for 529 out of the 668 days audited, spending $488,518 with no regard for the rules, Britain’s The Guardian newspaper reported in September.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had accepted Solheim’s resignation, which would be effective from Thursday, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters."
