Today, the Secretary-General will travel to Montreal, Canada, where he will attend the 15th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, referred to as COP15.
The first part of COP15 was held in Kunming, China, in October of last year. This second part will include the continuation of negotiations by Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which we hope will lead to the adoption of an ambitious post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
While in Montreal, the Secretary-General will meet with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, as well as COP15 President, Minister Huang Runqiu of China. He will also meet with representatives from civil society, including women’s groups, youth, indigenous communities and regional groups.
The Secretary-General is scheduled to be back in New York on Wednesday evening.
SECRETARY-GENERAL/SUDAN
In a statement issued today, the Secretary-General welcomed the signing of a framework agreement between civilian political forces and the military in Sudan. He hopes that this can pave the way for the return to a civilian-led transition in the country. He calls on all Sudanese stakeholders to work without delay on the next phase of the transition process to address outstanding issues with a view to achieving a lasting, inclusive political settlement.
The United Nations, through the Trilateral Mechanism comprised of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan (UNITAMS), the African Union (AU), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), remains committed to supporting the process going forward.
The Secretary-General reaffirms that the United Nations will continue to support the aspirations of the Sudanese people for democracy, peace and sustainable development.
UKRAINE
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) today noted that according to the authorities, another wave of missile strikes today have left millions without electricity and water in some regions in the north, centre and south, and the capital Kyiv. In Odesa, the water supply has been compromised due to the lack of electricity to run the pumps, and the heating system in Dnipro and Odesa have also been impacted. In addition, 40 per cent of the Kyiv region was left without electricity, according to authorities.
OCHA pointed out that the attacks have further damaged Ukraine’s energy system, at a time when temperatures have dropped below zero in most of the country and reached -8 degrees in Kyiv. These repeated attacks on the energy system are putting millions of civilians at risk of freezing temperatures, particularly people living on the front lines, without access to heating, water and essential services.
Aid workers continue to support the Ukrainian authorities with generators to keep hospitals working, and to make sure centres for displaced people are warm enough and to prepare thousands of facilities to serve as heating points. The UN has distributed more than 400 generatorsand more are arriving in the coming days. The UN has also provided warm clothes, heating appliances and home repairs for more than 630,000 people.
In recent days, the UN continues its work to help people in the Kherson region. The UN has delivered another 10 truckloads of critical supplies to two communities in the outskirts of Kherson city, including health kits enough to treat 20,000 patients for a period of 3 months; hygiene kits for 6,000 people and critical household items, including blankets, sleeping bags, mattress and other supplies to 1,500 families; amongst other supplies.
For its part, the World Food Programme (WFP) today said that despite the challenges due to conflict-induced lack of basic services in the country, close to 2.8 million people in need have been assisted with food and cash in November. WFP noted that the main priority for December remains on consistently responding to the dire needs of people in the worst impacted areas in Ukraine, delivering timely life-saving assistance with support from partners.
Overall, since the start of WFP operations in Ukraine in February 2022, more than 137,000 metric tonnes of food have been delivered to partners, intended for people impacted by war and in need living across the country.

United Nations Video: #LetThemPlay: Children belong on the playing field, not the battlefield | World Cup | United Nations
Every year, thousands of boys and girls are robbed of their right to simply be children. Whether involved in active fighting, abducted, deprived of an education, or enduring the horrors of warfare on a daily basis, children are being dragged into wars they don’t belong to while entailing great physical and emotional risks.
Let Them Play: A child’s place is on a football field, not a battlefield is an initiative of the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict to raise global awareness during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on the need to stop the use and abuse of children in armed conflict and to support boys and girls living in conflict areas to regain their right to be children.

SECRETARY-GENERAL TRIP / CANADA
On Monday, 5 December, in the afternoon, the Secretary-General will arrive in Montreal, Canada, where he will on Tuesday and Wednesday attend the 15th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, referred to as COP15.
The first part of COP15 was held in Kunming, China, in October of last year. This second part will include the continuation of negotiations by Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which we hope will lead to the adoption of an ambitious post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
In the remarks to be delivered at the opening ceremony of the Conference, the Secretary-General will underscore the importance of making peace with nature, which is our life-support system. He will also warn that if our
bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth continues, we will risk facing mass extinction.
The Secretary-General will also call on countries and the private sector to develop bold action plans that protect biodiversity and support sustainable practices. And he will reiterate his call for developed countries to provide financial support for developing countries, many of which are custodians of the world’s natural wealth.
While in Montreal, the Secretary-General will also meet with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, as well as COP15 President, Minister Huang Runqiu of China. In addition, he will meet with representatives from civil society, including women’s groups, youth, indigenous communities and regional groups.
The Secretary-General is scheduled to be back in New York on Wednesday evening.
UKRAINE
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) today raised concerns about the impact of the conflict on civilians in the eastern-most parts of the country, particularly Donetsk region, and their southern neighbours in Zaporizhzhia. While the world’s attention has been on the grave humanitarian situation in Kherson, dozens of towns on both sides of the frontline in Zaporizhzhia have been shelled daily during the past weeks, according to NGOs on the ground. People in these towns face tremendous challenges accessing gas, water and electricity in their homes.
Most people in the region of Donetsk also face extremely limited access to heating, water, health and education services following damage to civilian infrastructure. Over the past couple of days, our humanitarian colleagues have received reports from local authorities of civilians killed and injured on both sides of the front line.
Yesterday, several schools in both Ukrainian and Russian-controlled parts of the region were reportedly hit.
As temperatures continue to drop in Ukraine, heating has, as mentioned, become a major issue in the Donetsk region. On the Russian-controlled side, including the city of Donetsk, families cannot heat their homes as the centralized heating system is not operational. Piped water is also limited to a few days per week for a few hours.
OCHA notes that on the Ukrainian-controlled side, most people who stayed in the front-line cities are elderly, mainly older women, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Making sure they are protected and have access to heating during the winter can be a matter of their survival.
On the response side, the UN has distributed hundreds of generators to hospitals, schools and heating points across Ukraine for people cut off from utilities.
The UN has also provided winter supplies and services, heating appliances and house repairs to over 630,000 people. Most of this work can only take place in areas under Government control and humanitarian access to the other parts of the country remains a huge challenge.

United Nations Video: Persons with Disabilities | Innovating for an accessible and equitable world | DESA | United Nations
“Together, we have the tools to tackle the root causes of systemic marginalization of persons with disabilities in every corner of the world. Together, we can make sure that every person – no matter their circumstance – can fully participate in every aspect of life – social, economic, cultural, and political. Together, we can – and we will – advance our common future.”
These are the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres as he addressed the 15th session of the Conference of State Parties (COSP15) to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) earlier this year.
With 185 ratifications since its adoption in 2006, the CRPD has successfully advanced the well-being of persons with disabilities. The implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other international development frameworks are also contributing to this progress. But more work remains to be done.
Today, one billion people, or 15 per cent of the world’s population, experience some form of disability. Most often, in moments of crises, people in vulnerable situations such as persons with disabilities are the most excluded and left behind. They are often not considered in employment due to negative perceptions regarding their ability to contribute or the cost of accommodating their disability. It is crucial for governments, public and private sectors to collaboratively find innovative solutions for and with persons with disabilities to make the world a more accessible and equitable place.
It is against this backdrop that UN DESA is commemorating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) this year focusing on the theme “Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world”.
The 2022 global observance to commemorate the IDPD on 5 December will be around the overarching theme of innovation and transformative solutions for inclusive development. There will be three interactive dialogues following thematic topics on innovation for disability inclusive development in employment (SDG8); reducing inequality (SDG10); and sports (SDG3). The interactive dialogue on sports illustrates how this sector connects innovation, employment and equity.
Together with different international actors, the UN is increasingly supporting interventions that are improving accessibility for persons with disabilities. Follow this year’s observance of the IDPD at UN Headquarters in New York to learn more about these efforts. The event will be broadcast live via UN Web TV.

BBC News Video: Staff don't have a voice at NHS Trust, says bereaved daughter - BBC Newsnight
Frank Bird, a 55-year-old builder, died from sepsis after being admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital – part of University Hospitals Birmingham Foundation Trust (UHB).
His daughter Sharan contacted Newsnight after watching our exclusive investigation into one of the worst performing hospital trusts in England and claims doctors were too afraid to speak up about the quality of care at the hospital.
Healthwatch Birmingham has since called for a formal investigation into the allegations raised by Newsnight's report and called for "clear details of the action NHS England will be taking."
The UHB said: "We take patient safety very seriously and have a high reporting culture of incidents, to ensure appropriate accountability and vitally, learning.
"All patient safety concerns and incidents are rigorously investigated to prevent harm to our patients, and this may be difficult for some colleagues.
"There are well established routes and support in place for individuals to raise any concerns they may have, that we promote and encourage."

A woman whose mother and four siblings died in a fire in the Chinese city of Urumqi has blamed the Government for their deaths.
At the time, China operated a strict zero-Covid policy, resulting in many lengthy lockdowns. Protesters say restrictions hampered people's escape from the burning building on 24 November - though the government denies this.
However, China has since eased Covid lockdowns and some restrictions in major cities including Guangzhou, Chongqing and Zhengzhou.
BBC Newsnight's Danny Vincent spoke to Serafet, a Uyghur living in exile in Turkey, who said she found out she had lost family members through social media.
She added there had been no official confirmation of their deaths.

ODN Video: Has Iran’s Morality Police Been Scrapped and Will Protests Now End?
'Has Iran’s Morality Police Been Scrapped and Will Protests Now End?'
Iran is experiencing the most sustained anti-regime protests since the founding of the Islamic republic. They were brought about by the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for allegedly wearing her hijab incorrectly, and killed in police custody.
After two-and-a-half months, Iran's Attorney General has said the morality police is being shut down. The unit was formed in 2006 to enforce the country's Islamic dress code - including the mandatory hijab.
Their vans haven’t been seen in public recently, but Iranian state media have strongly pushed back on the comments, saying the decision would be made by the interior ministry, which is in charge of the force, not the judiciary. The interior ministry is yet to comment.
Even if the unit is being shut down, this won’t necessarily bring an end to the decades-old law around the mandatory hijab.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.

Global Video: Are labour unions making a comeback in North America?
Throughout the pandemic, North Americans have been rethinking their relationship with work. In fact, a recently released survey found that about a quarter of Canadians have taken on a new job in the past few months.
Many more who have stayed at their post have begun thinking about ways to improve working conditions.
And then there's workers at places like Starbucks and Apple, some of whom have sought to form unions or join unions. In Canada, three Starbucks in B.C. have voted to join the United Steelworkers Union, as has a café in Calgary. Five Lethbridge Starbucks locations are awaiting the results of similar votes.
Meanwhile, unions have reported an increase in the number of calls from workers interested in joining a union, according to Canadian Labour Congress President Bea Bruske.
“Those workers who are often service sector workers in restaurants, retail locations, have had to deal with the public, have not necessarily had access to personal protective equipment during the pandemic, have not had access to paid sick time. And quite frankly, their wages are not keeping up to inflation,” She explains.
Alyssa Julie explains what’s behind workers’ renewed push to unionize their workplaces and whether it’s likely to lead to a stronger labour movement.
