South Africa's National Assembly speaker Thoko Didiza said the SADC parliamentary meeting in Durban will zero in on how climate disasters are hitting women and young people across the region. The gathering lets member countries swap notes on handling environmental crises, and Didiza picked KwaZulu-Natal as the host spot because the province has gotten hammered by extreme weather events.
The forum theme centers on what parliaments can actually do to reduce climate damage while addressing gendered impacts of environmental breakdown. Didiza mentioned the symposium format gives politicians a chance to learn from each other's policy responses to shared regional challenges.
