Approximately one week after the Appeals Tribunal issued the impugned decision on
26 June 2020, he met with two former colleagues who told him that, sometime in
April 2017, they had heard the Chief of Health Program say to his Deputy, while the former
colleagues were in the office of the Chief of Health Program, that the Director of UNRWA
Operations, JFO, had ordered him (Chief of Health Program) to convene a medical board for
Mr. (...) He is relaying a conversation he had with his former
colleagues who relayed another conversation in which they were not directly involved, but
overheard between the Chief of Health Program and his Deputy about yet another
conversation between the Chief of Health Program and the Director of UNRWA Operations,
JFO. (...) Neither the Chief of Health Program nor the
Director of UNRWA Operations, JFO, had the authority, at the time, to make a decision as to
whether or not Mr.

However, your post functions and level of responsibilities are not the same as
the [G]rade 18 position, in particular because supervising an ESF program is not a
part of your duties since the Ramallah Women’s Training Centre (RWTC) does
not have an ESF program. (...) Although you did at some point supervise an ESF program at RWTC, this [is] no
longer the case. As you are aware, beginning in the 2010-11 academic year, the Agency
began phasing out the ESF program at RWTC in implementation of its decision to
merge all ESF programs into one location. (...) As a consequence, no ESF program was taught at the RWTC as of the start of the 2013-2014
academic year.

In “its ordinary sense, an enrolment-related fee is an expense
realized prior to the commencement of an academic program in relation to an
educational admission process”. This does not include fees for “infrastructure,

after the commencement of an academic program” such as those claimed by

enrollment is essentially a one-time event, which occurs after the student is admitted
to an educational course and/or program.
16. The Tribunal disagrees. The plain meaning of enrollment, or being enrolled,
in an educational course and/or program is that it simply indicates that a student is
registered thereto.

Introduction
1. The Applicant is a Program Officer working with the United Nations
Development Program (“UNDP”). (...) The Applicant joined UNDP in July 2011 working as a Program Officer. In
2016, the project she was attached to closed.4 Thereafter, the Applicant was tasked to
work on other assignments, including mobilization of resources and recently to design
projects on COVID-19.5 In February 2020, the Applicant’s appointment was extended
for three months. (...) Whereas in February 2020, the
Administration decided to review the Applicant’s performance, extend her contract on
a short or long period and even place her on a coaching program, if need be; no specific
reason was given for change of this approach in the letter notifying the Applicant of
the non-extension.

Many of these activities require the use of a bus to shuttle
students to and from the School and the venue, the cost of which is offset
by the Off-Campus Education program as is the cost of our Program
Administrator. This fee is an eligible expense under the Children’s
Fitness Tax Credit program and therefore is tax receiptabie.
Extra-curricular activities that take place after school are part of a
different, voluntary program offering.
85. According to the correspondence from the school dated 28 November 2017, the
school provided the breakdown of the co-curricular program fees as follows: special
curricular events, field trips within commuting distance, music, robotics, visual arts,
theatre, athletics fee, and salaries for co-curricular programs.

one ineligible staff member did attend in error.

Administration’s obligation to ensure that appropriate learning and development
programs are available for the benefit of staff including the Applicant. (...) In terms of the Staff Rules and the relevant Secretary-General’s bulletin

technical assistance programs of new generation”, which are the kind of
program were donors express their keen interest to use the remaining
JITAP founds (around 1.7$ million). (...) The Applicant’s claim in this regard is no more than a speculation of a
successor program of JITAP but is not circumstantiated by reliable facts.

AB 32 Update CAPCOA Fall Meeting
1
California’s Cap-and-Trade Program
Rajinder Sahota
California Air Resources Board
January 2018
Part of a suite of climate policies to achieve 40% below 1990 levels by 2030
Ensure GHG targets are realized through a strict limit
Provide compliance flexibility to achieve cost-effective reductions
Allow price signals to motivate long-term investment in cleaner fuel and energy efficiency
Complement existing programs to reduce smog and air toxics
Facilitate integration of regional, national, and international GHG reduction programs
Extended in 2017 in conjunction with legislation to focus efforts on neighborhood level air pollution (AB 617)
2
Cap-and-Trade Program
Economy-wide Coverage
Program covers about ~85% of State’s Emissions
Stationary sources with emissions ≥25,000 metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e) per
year
Importers of electricity
Emissions from the combustion of supplied fuels,
including natural gas and transportation fuels
Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous
oxide (N2O)

Cap-and-Trade Program Allowance Budgets

Important Design Features
Allocation to industrial sources to prevent leakage
Multiyear compliance periods
Banking
Offsets
Compliance Flexibility
Allowance Price Containment Reserve
Auction with price floor for carbon price discovery to inform investment and compliance decisions
Allows market to identify lowest-cost GHG reductions
5
How is Cap and Trade Enforced?
Robust annual GHG emissions reporting and
verification
Use consistent methods for reporting within a sector and
across sectors
Third-party verification to ensure accurate reporting
Offset projects must comply with CARB-adopted
protocols and undergo third-party verification
Automatic 4x increase in compliance obligation if
an entity misses the compliance deadline

~450 covered entities in the Cap-and-Trade Program

>$6.4 billion generated for California Climate Investments
High levels of compliance with Program requirements
Carbon price is being incorporated into compliance, investment decisions, and electricity market
Cap-and-Trade Program Facts and Figures
What is Linkage?
In the context of the California Cap-and-Trade Program, linkage refers to the process of approving compliance instruments issued by another jurisdiction’s climate program (e.g., an emissions trading system) to be eligible for use by entities to meet compliance obligations under California’s program
Current linkage
Instruments from another ETS can be used in California and where California instruments can be used in the other ETS
Ex., Québec, Ontario
Potential linkage to Sector-Based Offset Programs
Instruments from an approved sector-based offset program can be used in California, but California instruments would not be used in the sector-based offset program
Ex., Acre, Brazil

SB 1018 Requirements
The Governor must make all of the following findings:
Partner Jurisdiction has adopted program requirements for GHG reductions and offset credits which are equivalent to or stricter than California’s
California has continued ability to enforce its laws and regulations
Partner Jurisdiction has ability to enforce its laws and regulations, and enforcement requirements are equivalent to or stricter than California’s enforcement requirements
Proposed linkage does not impose any significant liability on California for any failure associated with the linkage
9
SB 1018 Process to Propose
Linkage Review potential partner jurisdiction’s program (or proposed
program if not yet adopted)
Assess partner jurisdiction program against SB 1018 requirements
Stringency of GHG reduction requirement
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
Accuracy requirement
Program coverage (i.e., who is regulated)
Market/trading rules (if an ETS)
Offset provisions and requirements
Enforcement mechanisms within potential partner jurisdiction
Develop recommendations and notification package to send to Governor
10
Recent Legislation: AB 398
Provides direction on a post-2020 Cap-and-Trade
Program, including
Changes to the offset usage limit and requirements for instate benefits
Direction on allowance allocation
Establishing two price containment points and a price ceiling
CARB in the process of evaluating changes to
program design features
Changes will be subject to a public process and
coordinated with linked partners
AB 398 requires that changes be in effect by
January 1, 2021 10
