The first was in February 2018, by the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations, Switzerland, in recognition for his work to restore a lasting peace in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis award comes in response for interest shown by His Excellency, President of the Republic, on the need to create conditions for good management of natural resources, with a view to mitigate the impact of poor conservation of biodiversity and climate change\u201d, said the director of the Veterinary Faculty, Cesaltina Tchamo.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that the results achieved could not go unnoticed, particularly by the communities residents in regions most vulnerable to the impact of climate change and other natural phenomena.<\/p>\n<p>The actions, undertaken under his leadership since 2015 to date, are seen by Mozambique\u2019s better natural resource management, adaptation to climate change and resilience, which are clearly visible both domestically and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>She stressed that it was under his leadership that Mozambique assumed and has been implementing programmes with real impact for protection of biodiversity and lessen the impact of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>For his turn, Nyusi called on everyone to embrace practices friendly to biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have nowhere to go, planet Earth is our only home, and this is an undeniable reality,\u201d warned the President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was struck by a mixture of feelings when I was told of the interest of Eduardo Mondlane University in awarding me this title, [\u2026] the question that hovered over me is always the same: what should we do?\u201d, he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, according to Nyusi, scientists launched appeals about climate change, for which most people chose to ignore; now we are in a race against time.<\/p>\n<p>Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, members of government, academics, representatives of Civil Society organizations, politicians among others attended the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
