As a co-proponent of the joint statement delivered by Canada, our concerns about the media reports that emerged on 12 May this year are well known. Failure to report cases of sexual exploitation, abuse and sexual harassment, as required by UN and WHO protocol, would be contrary to the safeguarding standards to which WHO Member States require all international organizations to adhere, including zero tolerance for ignoring, covering up or deliberately mishandling allegations. These principles underpin all UK funding agreements to international partners.
Given our shared policy of zero tolerance for inaction, we urge that the most recent - and all related allegations - be investigated as soon as possible, in keeping with a survivor-centred approach.

2020 – a year we won’t forget
Few will be able to forget the day we first heard the word ‘coronavirus’ or the night we had our first family meeting with the President and he told us we’d be going into a lockdown. A National Disaster was declared, and regulations and emergency response measures were developed at lightning speed. For the past nine months, it has been hard to think of anything else.
But, with Covid-19 at the forefront of our minds some of us may have forgotten that in the first half of 2020, scientists had already begun predicting that 2020 had a 75 percent chance of being recorded as the hottest year ever measured with instruments since records began, breaking the record set in 2016. By December it was tied with 2016, the hottest year ever recorded.

Comments Off on Presidential Climate Change Coordinating Commission appointed
President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed members of the inaugural Presidential Climate Change Coordinating Commission (P4C) with effect from 17 December 2020.
The establishment of the Commission emanates from the Presidential Jobs Summit held in October 2018 when social partners agreed that a statutory body be formed to coordinate and oversee the just transition towards a low-carbon, inclusive, climate change resilient economy and society.
The Commission is tasked with advising on South Africa’s climate change response. This includes mitigation and adaptation to climate change and its associated impacts. It will furthermore provide independent monitoring and review of South Africa’s progress in meeting its emissions reduction and adaptation goals.
