    "content": "21A (1) The Council, may in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary and relevant State Departments, impose climate change obligations on private entities, including entities constituted under the Public Organizations Benefits Act 2013. (2) The Council shall make regulations governing the nature and procedure for reporting on performance by the private entities, including the authority to monitor and evaluate the compliance. (3) Notwithstanding other provisions in this Act, the Council may─ (a) by notice in the Gazette, require a private entity that is subject to climate change obligations to at any time, prepare reports on the status of its performance of the climate change duties and prescribe the period for reporting; and (b) require any private entity that fails to comply with its climate change obligations to prepare a report, within a specified time, on the actions it has taken, is taking or intends to take to secure future performance with those duties. The import of this is that the Council is responsible for mainstreaming climate change both in the private and public sectors. In the case of the public sector, it should be at all levels and departments of the Government. It should then report the same to the National Assembly."
