While sexual harassment is
particularly serious when it has consequences on work activities or the work
environment, the existence of such consequences is not a constituent element of
UNHCR’s definition of sexual harassment. (...) The Tribunal also notes that staff members’ obligations under staff
regulations 1.2(a), (b) and (f) are not limited to the work environment but also
apply in a certain way to their private lives. (...) These factors, especially if combined, deserve the maximal
sanction, that is the offender’s dismissal or separation.
59. However, absent globally those factors the sanction should be milder,
especially when, like in the present case, none of them occurred.
60.

Report reveals progress on environmentally protected areas, but quality must improve
19 May 2021
Climate and Environment
Although the world has made major progress toward a decade-long target for environmental protection areas, it has fallen far short on commitments regarding their quality, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners said in a report published on Wednesday.
(...) “Protected and conserved areas play a crucial role in tackling biodiversity loss, and great progress has been made in recent years on strengthening the global network of protected and conserved areas,” said Neville Ash, Director of UNEP-WCMC.

Remarks by Mr. (...) I am honored to be here at this landmark First National
Environment and Climate Emergency Summit . It comes at a critical time to reverse the impacts of climate change - and a call to action to restore ecosystems and biodiversity globally.
(...) PNG can, with the correct investments, become a world leader in renewable energy , green commodities , and sustainable fisheries . Globally, countries are already positioning their development pathways away from resource depletion - towards green and blue economies that protect and conserve resources while economically and socially thriving at the same time.
