Participate in the Global System of Governance

SA’s engagement in the global system of Governance will continue to cover the political, economic and social spheres of our work

Whilst our engagement as non-permanent member of the UNSC will lapse at the end of 2008

• We will continue to advance our engagements in other key areas of UN work
• One of the key areas will be advancing the reform of the UN
• Another key issue that is proving highly topical in multilateral debates especially due to its cross cutting nature and impact is Climate Change
• Govt is seized with the matter and necessary co-ordination with key Departments is done through the IRPS Cluster
