Outcomes of regular meeting of the Western Cape Government Cabinet
On Wednesday, 6 November 2024, Premier Alan Winde chaired a regular meeting of the Western Cape Government (WCG) Cabinet.
“This week, the world is looking at us, the Western Cape and Cape Town, as we host Earthshot Week 2024. The opportunity to host this prestigious event has given us a platform, not just as a province but the entire country and African continent, from where we can demonstrate our collective commitment towards addressing the climate change crisis,” said Premier Winde at the opening of the meeting.
He added, “Africa is disproportionately affected by this growing crisis. Our province too is bearing the brunt. Through events such as Earthshot, we must learn from other regions and stakeholders and highlight what we as a government are doing to halt the impact of climate change. The climate crisis is not just about the future of the environment, it is about building a society and economy that enables our residents to live lives of dignity and opportunity.”
