G20: South Africa defies geopolitical bullying and puts inequality emergency on global agenda, says Oxfam

Source: Oxfam –

In reaction to the G20 communique, Oxfam International Head of Inequality Policy and Advocacy, Max Lawson said:

“This is the first ever meeting of world leaders, in history, where the inequality emergency was put at the centre of the agenda. This is testament to South Africa’s leadership – one that put the billions before the billionaires.”

“South Africa has set an example to the world in ensuring the G20 stood firm and collectively agreed on a leader’s declaration – defending multilateralism – despite powerful opposition. 

“Nevertheless, it is disappointing that rich countries and their allies watered down the communique – which for example does not reflect the clear momentum worldwide for taxing the super-rich.

“Never has the choice between a world of global oligarchy or equality been clearer. Inequality is a political choice. Taxing the ultra-rich, addressing the debt and climate crises and investing in a fairer future are choices that can and must be made by countries – irrespective of who is in charge of the G20.

“An immediate step that all countries must take is to support the creation of a new global Independent Panel on Inequality – a plan that South Africa, Spain, Brazil and multiple countries now champion.”

Oxfam experts are available for comment.

Read Oxfam’s curtain raiser ahead of the G20 with the headline statistic: G20 billionaires’ fortunes rise by $2.2 trillion in just one year, more than enough to lift everyone above the global poverty line.

Oxfam is calling for G20 countries to:

  • Fairly tax the super-rich. G20 leaders must continue the legacy from the previous G20 and tax extreme wealth.
  • Support the creation of a panel on inequality to provide scientific evidence and recommendations on how to tackle inequality.
  • Tackle the spiralling debt crisis. More than half of low-income countries are facing or at risk of defaulting on their debt. The G20’s plan to tackle debt has failed. 

The G20 is a meeting bringing together the 20 largest economies to address pressing global challenges and foster economic cooperation. South Africa, the host country, held the G20 in Johannesburg and made tackling inequality a core theme. 

South Africa has commissioned the first ever G20 analysis of inequality to advise leaders. The “G20 Extraordinary Committee of Independent Experts on Global Inequality”, led by Professor Joseph Stiglitz, identifies an “inequality emergency”.

Proposed COP30 decision texts fail to raise ambition, protect forests, deliver finance

Source: Greenpeace Statement –

Belém, Brazil, 21 November 2025, Greenpeace has dismissed the second Mutirão Decision text at the UN climate conference COP30 and urged parties to reject it and send it back to the Presidency for revision.

In responding to today’s second proposed Mutirão Decision text and other texts, Tracy Carty, Climate Politics Expert, Greenpeace International said: “2035 emission targets are wildly off track and this Mutirão text might as well be blank as it does so little to bridge the 1.5°C ambition gap or push countries to accelerate action. There is no option here but for countries to reject it and send it back to the presidency for revision.”

“Hopes were raised by initial proposals for roadmaps both to end deforestation and fossil fuels, but these roadmaps have disappeared and we’re again lost without a map to 1.5°C and fumbling our way in the dark while time is running out.” 

“COP30 has shown rising support for a roadmap away from fossil fuels, so the Belém outcome must include it to ensure we end the burning of oil, gas and coal as quickly as possible. Reports and more talks are not enough. We need a global response plan.”

“One thin margin of progress is the welcome commitment to a Just Transition Mechanism, which is needed to coordinate, support, and scale up just transition efforts worldwide.”

An Lambrechts, Biodiversity Policy Expert, Greenpeace International added: “While this latest text has not forgotten forests or Indigenous Peoples, what’s also missing is action to end deforestation. There is no 1.5°C solution without protecting forests but this text does not deliver collective action to end forest destruction and there is no sense of urgency.”

“Being ‘mindful’ of being in the Amazon, ‘acknowledging’ Indigenous rights and knowledge and ‘underlining the need’ for synergies to address climate change, biodiversity loss and land and ocean degradation is simply not enough.”

Koaile Monaheng, Political Strategist, Greenpeace Africa added: “Finance is also a casualty in this latest text. The proposals to triple adaptation finance and establish a work programme on climate finance are not strong enough. Vulnerable countries are again left to deal with the escalating impacts of climate change without sufficient plans to unlock the public finance they need, including taxing and ending subsidies to the biggest polluters.”

Greenpeace Africa urges African governments to back a Belém Fossil-Fuel phase-out Roadmap

Source: Greenpeace Statement –

Belém, Brazil — More than 80 countries now back a global roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. With only four African signatories so far, Greenpeace Africa urges more African governments to join this coalition and use it to lock in finance, fairness, and safeguards that make the transition real at home.

Sherelee Odayar, Oil and Gas Greenpeace Africa, said: “African negotiators should back the fossil-fuel roadmap and make sure it comes with money that moves, fairness that protects, and safeguards that put people first. That means grant-based finance that reaches the ground within 12 months; faster investments in renewables and safeguards for workers and communities. There must be free, prior and informed consent for communities and clear benefit-sharing; and no new approvals that lock countries into decades of fossil fuel dependence. Make polluters pay, ensure a Just Transition and let Africa lead.”

To broaden African support, the roadmap must come with a finance package: quantified grant-based flows; direct-access windows (including for municipalities, Indigenous Peoples and local communities); a strong share for adaptation; and an operational Loss and Damage payout mechanism. Fairness must be spelled out in simple terms: those who pollute most and can pay most should act first. Cut methane quickly and phase out fossil-fuel subsidies while the deal lowers Africa’s cost of financing the transition through development-bank reforms, targeted debt relief (including climate-resilient clauses), and rechanneled International Monetary Fund (IMF) reserves so money is available on fair terms.

With South Africa hosting the G20, Africa should help set global norms for a just transition and fair supply chains, carrying the just-transition standards emerging here into the G20 agenda. We call on G20 leaders to advance polluter-pays measures, coordinated taxes on fossil windfall profits and strong action against profit-shifting, so proceeds flow as grants to adaptation, Loss and Damage, energy access and public-health gains from cleaner air.

Africa should join and shape the phase-out coalition on conditions that deliver real finance, protect people and jobs, speed clean energy for households and businesses, and build resilience. We will not decarbonise by deepening dependence; a fair roadmap ties phase-out milestones to grant finance, technology access, and people-centred governance and then delivers.

Australia joins Belém Declaration to transition from fossil fuels; now must fight for COP30 roadmap

Source: Greenpeace Statement –

BELÉM, BRAZIL, Friday 21 November 2025 — In response to the announcement that Australia has joined the Belém Declaration for the Transition Away From Fossil Fuels, Dr Simon Bradshaw, COP31 Lead at Greenpeace Australia Pacific, speaking from Belém said: 

“This is the strongest ever statement from Australia on fossil fuels, and we intend to hold them to it. By signing the Belém Declaration, Australia is acknowledging that our legally binding international commitment to limit warming to 1.5°C means no new fossil fuels.

“The Declaration, launched alongside the formal COP30 negotiations, also reaffirms the landmark, Pacific-led advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, which ruled that green-lighting new fossil fuels projects today is an ‘internationally wrongful act’ and risks breaching international law.

“But cheering from the sidelines is not enough. Australia needs to jump into the ring and fight for a roadmap away from fossil fuels within the formal COP30 negotiations.

“We must see action, not empty words. As the incoming President of COP31 negotiations, Australia must use its role to drive climate ambition based on the law and the science, champion Pacific priorities, and do everything possible to ensure we get a better outcome here in Belém.”

Climate change Shell forced to reveal true scale of Jackdaw’s climate impacts Fossil fuel giant Shell has been forced to reveal the true scale of planet-heating emissions from its Jackdaw gas field following a successful legal challenge by Greenpeace UK and Uplift.… by Stefano Gelmini November 21, 2025

Source: Greenpeace Statement –

Fossil fuel giant Shell has been forced to reveal the true scale of planet-heating emissions from its Jackdaw gas field following a successful legal challenge by Greenpeace UK and Uplift.

In the additional information Shell has submitted to the government today, the oil company calculates Jackdaw’s total emissions, including those known as Scope 3, could be as high as 36 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent over the project’s lifetime. This is equivalent to the average emissions of around 20 million cars driving on UK roads for a year, according to analysis by Greenpeace UK. 

The disclosure follows a successful legal case brought by environmental campaigners that quashed consent for the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields. The judge ruled they were unlawful as the approval process didn’t take into account emissions from burning the oil and gas extracted from those fields.

New gas from the North Sea will not lower energy bills for UK households as it’s sold on the global market.

Commenting on the report, Greenpeace UK’s co-executive director Areeba Hamid said:

“Now our legal win has forced Shell to reveal the sheer scale of pollution expected from Jackdaw, it’s looking more and more like a dud project for the UK. The gas from Jackdaw won’t take a penny off our energy bills but will generate as many emissions as 20 million cars driving on UK roads for a year. This will fuel more extreme weather like the devastating droughts, wildfires and floods we have seen this year, leaving ordinary people to pick up the bill. It’s decision-time for ministers: if they approve Jackdaw, it’ll be Shell’s profit, our loss.”

Update 326 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine

Source: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) –

Another localized ceasefire brokered by the IAEA took effect near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) today, paving the way for repairs aimed at strengthening the site’s connection to the electricity grid and preventing a nuclear accident, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said.

Two weeks after off-site power was successfully restored to the ZNPP following a one-month outage – also made possible by temporary truce arrangements negotiated by the IAEA – demining and other preparations got under way this morning near a damaged section of the 330 kilovolt (kV) Ferosplavna-1 line, whose connection to the plant was cut six months ago.

Technicians are expected to begin the repairs on Saturday with the intention to re-connect Ferosplavna-1 to the site in the next few days. It would give the ZNPP access to two power lines after last month’s repairs of the 750 kV Dniprovska line, which had been disconnected for more than four weeks when it resumed supplying electricity to the plant on 23 October.

The IAEA team based at the ZNPP will be monitoring the new repairs, just as two Agency teams supervised last month’s activities on opposite sides of the frontline.

The initial plan had been to repair both lines simultaneously in October, when two localized and temporary ceasefires allowed technicians from both sides to work. While they restored the Dniprovska line, additional damage to Ferosplavna-1 was discovered at another location closer to the plant itself but outside of the initially agreed ceasefire zones, delaying its re-connection.

“Last month’s restoration of off-site power to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant was an extremely important development for nuclear safety and security, ending the tenth and longest complete loss of external electricity during more than three and a half years of war,” Director General Grossi said. 

“However, it is clearly not enough to just have one power line available for the plant, which used to have ten before the war. Following intense and complex consultations with the Russian Federation and Ukraine, we agreed on a new ceasefire window that will allow the additional repairs to proceed. Hopefully, also this power line will be re-connected soon, marking a new significant step for nuclear safety and security. It will further enhance the plant’s nuclear safety resilience,” he said.

The ZNPP’s six reactors have not produced electricity for more than three years and its six reactors are all shut down. But it still needs electricity to power the pumps used for cooling its reactor cores and spent fuel and to avoid a meltdown with a possible radioactive release. When the plant loses all external electricity, it relies on emergency diesel generators for the power it needs to operate its safety systems.

“Both sides recognize the risks posed by a prolonged loss of power as well as by limited off-site power redundancy at a nuclear facility. They have worked constructively with us to enable these vital repairs to proceed. However, the overall nuclear safety and security situation at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant remains highly precarious. We will only be able to claim success once this devastating war ends without a nuclear accident,” Director General Grossi said.

Update 328 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine

Source: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) –

Two Ukrainian nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been operating at reduced capacity for the past ten days after a military attack damaged an electrical substation critical for nuclear safety and security, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said today.

Substations are critical nodes in a country’s electrical grid, serving as facilities where voltage levels are transformed and controlled to ensure reliable power transmission. For nuclear power plants (NPPs), they are indispensable for maintaining off-site power supplies that support safety systems and cooling functions, making their integrity vital for nuclear safety and security. 

Following the latest military activity targeting a substation, during the night of 7 November, the Khmelnitskyy and Rivne NPPs were each disconnected from one of their two 750 kilovolt (kV) power lines. In addition, the grid operator ordered a reduction in electricity output of some of their reactors.

Today, although one of the affected lines has since been restored, the other remains out of service. Three reactors continue to operate at limited power, at the request of the grid operator.

“Reliable off-site power is vital for the maintenance and operation of nuclear safety functions. To this end, Agency experts will, through dedicated expert missions, continue to assess the functionality of substations critical for nuclear safety and security,” Director General Grossi said.

The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) remains connected to the grid after repairs carried out under the protection of IAEA-brokered localized ceasefires in late October and ten days ago. 

Ending a month-long outage of off-site power, this has allowed the resumption of maintenance of the plant’s safety systems. 

However, one of the two off-site power lines that were re-connected thanks to the recent repairs – the 750 kilovolt (kV) Dniprovska line – was again disconnected on Friday evening after the actuation of a protection system. The cause is still being investigated. The IAEA is engaging with both sides to assist in the timely restoration of the line, Director General Grossi said.

The IAEA continues to implement its comprehensive programme of assistance to Ukraine in nuclear safety and security. 

As part of the programme, the IAEA completed partial deliveries of items to the Joint Stock Company Mykolaivoblenergo consisting of electrical cabinets, circuit breakers surge arresters and similar items needed to maintain a reliable power supply for the safe operation of Ukraine’s NPPs.  Additional items, that are still in production, will be delivered in the coming months. These deliveries were possible with the support from Austria, France, Germany, Italy and the European Union.

In addition, the South Ukraine NPP received 12 gamma dose rate monitoring stations intended to enhance its radiation monitoring capability. The stations, once in operation, will feed also the IAEA’s International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS) with monitoring data, providing information on the radiological situation on the ground in the plant’s normal operation and during an accident. The delivery was supported by the European Union.

Ukraine’s Central Enterprise for the Management of Radioactive Waste received IT equipment and the Chornobyl NPP received an off-road vehicle. Both deliveries were funded by the United Kingdom and aimed at enhancing nuclear security measures at the two sites. 

These deliveries brought the total organised during the conflict by the IAEA to 174, amounting to over €20.5 million.

Update 327 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine

Source: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) –

Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has regained its access to back-up electricity from the grid for the first time in six months, after today’s completion of repairs to a second power line under the protection of a localized ceasefire brokered by the IAEA, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said. 

The re-connection of the 330 kilovolt (kV) Ferosplavna-1 power line to the ZNPP today at 19:43 local time marks another significant step in efforts to prevent a nuclear accident during the military conflict, coming two weeks after the restoration of the 750 kV Dniprovska line ended a month-long outage of off-site power at the site.

“Immediately after the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant lost all off-site power on 23 September, we began working closely with both the Russian Federation and Ukraine to enable the repairs of both power lines, which are indispensable for being able to maintain nuclear safety and security at the site during this devastating war,” Director General Grossi said.

“As the damaged sections of the power lines were located in an active combat zone, this required complex negotiations with both sides to establish carefully coordinated temporary truce arrangements so that their technicians could work without risking their own lives. It took several weeks to get to this point, with the plant once again having access to two power lines. It is a good day for nuclear safety and security, although the overall situation remains highly precarious and our important mission in Ukraine is far from over,” he said.

The repairs of the remaining damaged section of Ferosplavna-1 got under way on Saturday morning around three kilometres from the ZNPP’s site perimeter after the area had been demined the day before. Technicians repaired a damaged cable between two pylons, with an IAEA team monitoring their work. The line – which had been cut since 7 May 2025 – was finally re-connected to the plant this evening.

It came just over two weeks after the successful repairs of the Dniprovska line on 23 October 2025 restored off-site power to the ZNPP, which for a month had relied on emergency diesel generators for the electricity it needs for essential nuclear safety and security functions.

For the first time since May 2025, the ZNPP once again has redundancy in its external power supply. However, the external electricity situation at the plant remains extremely fragile. During more than three and a half years of conflict, the site has lost all access to external electricity ten times. Before the conflict, it was connected to the grid through ten power lines.

The ZNPP’s six reactors have not produced electricity for more than three years and its six reactors are all shut down. But it still needs electricity to power the pumps used for cooling its reactor cores and spent fuel and to avoid a meltdown with a possible radioactive release. 

Despite today’s re-establishment of back-up power at the ZNPP, developments elsewhere in Ukraine underlined the highly precarious nuclear safety and security situation during the conflict. 

Two operating NPPs – Khmelnitskyy and Rivne – had to reduce output of electricity today following an overnight attack on an electrical substation critical for nuclear safety and security. Last week, Rivne also temporarily reduced output following damage to another substation, underscoring the importance of such energy infrastructure for the safe operation of NPPs.

“Electrical substations are critical for our efforts to maintain nuclear safety and security during the war. Their continued degradation is a deep source of concern in this regard. I continue to call for maximum military restraint in order to maintain nuclear safety and avoid an accident with serious radiological consequences,” Director General Grossi said.

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts completed today the first International Physical Protection Advisory Service (IPPAS) mission in Kenya. 

The IPPAS mission was conducted from 10 to 21 November and was hosted by the Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA). The six-person mission team reviewed the security of radioactive material, associated facilities and activities in the country. 

Kenya uses radiation sources across medical, research, and industrial sectors. The country is preparing to establish its first nuclear research reactor and is considering the development of a nuclear power programme to support growing energy demand.

As part of the review, the IPPAS team visited eight facilities, including the Central Radioactive Waste Processing Facility, Quality Assurance Systems, the Kenya Bureau of Standards, the International Livestock Research Institute, Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi Hospital, and the Aga Khan University Hospital, which is a privately owned facility used for brachytherapy. The team also visited the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, which promotes the application of research findings and technology in the field of agriculture.

Kenya is party to the Convention on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and its Amendment and has expressed its political commitment to the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources. 

The IPPAS team, led by Moustapha Tall, Director of Inspection of the Authority for Radiation Protection, Nuclear Safety and Security of Senegal, included experts from Ghana, Spain, Türkiye, the United States, as well as one IAEA staff member. The team held discussions with officials from the Ministry of Interior, Kenya Police Service, Directorate of Criminal Investigation, Department of Defence, National Counter Terrorism Centre, Kenya Airports Authority and Kenya Civil Aviation Authority.

The team noted that Kenya has developed several draft regulations related to the security of nuclear and other radioactive material and encouraged their prompt adoption. To further strengthen its nuclear security framework, the team also encouraged Kenya to establish a more formalized approach to cooperation among the various competent authorities with nuclear security responsibilities. 

The team also recommended further efforts to ensure that KNRA has adequate human, financial, and technical resources to fulfil its oversight mission, which will be indispensable for Kenya to be able proceed with embarking on nuclear power. Good practices were identified, which may be used by other IAEA Member States to build long term improvement in global nuclear security.

“The first IPPAS mission in Kenya provided recommendations and suggestions to help the country further enhance its nuclear security procedures and practices,” said Elena Buglova, Director of the IAEA’s Division of Nuclear Security. “The findings are highlighting the importance of a robust regulatory framework for nuclear security, supported by effective coordination and resources.” 

“The IPPAS mission is a key step in Kenya’s efforts to enhance nuclear security,” said James Keter, Director General of the KNRA. “The recommendations will help us build stronger nuclear security framework to ensure our nuclear and radioactive materials do not fall in the hands of criminal or terrorist groups and there will be no sabotage on associated facilities and activities. This will protect the members of public and the environment from risks associated with nuclear and radioactive materials.”

Background

The mission was the 109th IPPAS mission conducted by the IAEA since the programme began in 1995.

IPPAS missions are intended to assist States in strengthening their national nuclear security regime. The missions provide peer advice on implementing international instruments, along with IAEA guidance on the protection of nuclear and other radioactive material and associated facilities.

During missions, a team of international experts observes a nation’s system of physical protection, compares it with international good practices and makes recommendations for improvement. IPPAS missions are conducted both on a nationwide and facility-specific basis.

Sudan grassroots aid groups awarded 2025 Chatham House Prize

Source: Chatham House –

Sudan’s grassroots mutual aid groups – the Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) – have been awarded the 2025 Chatham House Prize, in recognition of their crucial role in delivering humanitarian support during the ongoing war in Sudan.  

These community networks are said to have been the difference between life and death for millions – saving lives in areas often inaccessible to international organizations. They step in where state structures have broken down, providing essentials like food, water and medical supplies and maintaining or repairing power and water systems.  

Their work has been praised and recognized by several international bodies including the Norwegian Nobel Committee – particularly for their impartial nature and attempts to provide aid for all parties caught up in the war.  

Bronwen Maddox, Director and Chief Executive of Chatham House, said: 

‘These groups have demonstrated that civilians can and do provide a vital response in times of crisis which goes beyond providing mere aid. In the face of a horrific, brutal conflict which threatens societal collapse, they have shown civic solidarity and resilience – taking a lead and shifting some power back to communities. I am delighted they have accepted this award in recognition of their efforts.’

Tighisti Amare, Director of the Africa Programme at Chatham House, said: 

‘At a time of profound crisis, when Sudan’s communities have been left without functioning state services or adequate international assistance, the ERRs have stepped in with remarkable resolve. Their volunteer-led networks have been the backbone of humanitarian response for millions – sustaining essential support, protecting dignity, reaffirming social cohesion, and demonstrating the courage and ingenuity that define the very best of local leadership.’

In a statement the ERRs said they were grateful to Chatham House and its members for the honour. 

‘This recognition belongs to the thousands of Sudanese volunteers who risk their lives every day to protect and support others. Amid unimaginable suffering, our people continue to demonstrate that compassion, solidarity and humanity are stronger than war. 

‘We dedicate this award to every community that still believes in hope and to all those who continue to care for one another despite displacement, loss, and fear. Above all, we honour our fallen ERR volunteers – the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their fellow citizens. Their bravery and devotion will never be forgotten.  

‘This recognition strengthens our commitment to building a civilian future for Sudan, rather than a militarized one – a future where peace, dignity, and humanity guide our path forward. This award gives strength to our ongoing struggle for a Sudan where communities thrive without fear and where solidarity prevails over violence.’

The Prize will be awarded at an official event next year, with details to be announced nearer the time.  

The Chatham House Prize is voted for by Chatham House members, following nominations from the institute’s staff and presented to ‘the person, persons, or organization deemed to have made the most significant contribution to the improvement of international relations’.                        

The Prize was launched in 2005. Previous recipients include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Malawi’s Constitutional Court Judges, Sir David Attenborough and the BBC Natural History Unit, the Committee to Protect Journalists, Médecins Sans Frontières, and Melinda Gates, co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Last year the 2024 Chatham House Prize went to Prime Minister Donald Tusk in recognition of his unwavering commitment to restoring democracy in Poland.  

Chatham House is a world-leading policy institute based in London. Our mission is to address geopolitical challenges and international problems. Through this, we aim to help governments and societies to build a secure, sustainable, prosperous and just world.

We do this by providing independent analysis and advice, and convening meetings of the people and organizations that can bring about change.
