Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. It is also one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, if detected early and managed effectively.

Hosted by the Attorney General’s Office Mauritius, the Commonwealth Law Ministers Meeting (CLMM) will convene in Mauritius under the theme: ‘Strengthening international cooperation through the rule of law and the protection of human rights.'

The Commonwealth carries a significant cervical cancer burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Whilst the Commonwealth represents 30 per cent of the world’s population, it carries a 40 per cent share of the global cancer incidence burden, and 43 per cent of the global mortality burden.

The Commonwealth Secretariat will host a session on 16 November from 1 - 2pm GMT at the ICC Make Climate Action Everyone’s Business Forum – a hybrid event broadcasted from the COP27 Blue Zone.

The Commonwealth Secretariat will host this roundtable workshop at Climate Law & Governance Day 2022 in collaboration with University of Cambridge Centre for Energy, Environment & Natural Resources and Governance (CEENRG) and the University of Waterloo School of Environment, Enterprise & Development (SEED).
