Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>\u2018All hands on deck towards a sustainable world\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cEngaging the younger generation in the sustainable development of our beautiful islands is of paramount importance if we are to remain relevant as a Nation. Our commitments to meet the goals and targets under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can only be<\/p>\n

achievable with the interest and dedication of the youths.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World\u2019 is therefore aptly chosen for this year\u2019s theme on International Youth Day, celebrated around the world on August 12. The plight of small island states against threats of climate change, and its impact on our natural resources and food security is a preoccupation best dealt with through an integrated approach across all sectors involving our entire population.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we often say, \u2018the Youths of today are the pride of the future\u2019 and United Seychelles firmly believes that Seychelles is blessed to have so many of our children partaking in activities to raise awareness on environmental issues and promote sustainable lifestyles. United Seychelles appreciates the fact that \u2018re-use, re-cycle, and reduce\u2019 has become the chorus of choice among the youths of our country. With their own spin on how best to tackle the management and protection of ecosystems, it is encouraging to see old recycling traditions come back. Where our older generation was ashamed to be seen with a bin-bag at the dustbin, the youths have raised the bar and collecting marine debris and waste for example are now in vogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnited Seychelles therefore calls on all stakeholders to put in place the right framework to better engage our younger generation in countering the threats to our biodiversity \u2013 be it from climate change, pollution, illegal exploitation of our natural resources and invasive<\/p>\n

alien species and last but not least substance abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with this year\u2019s theme, let us encourage our young entrepreneurs in developing and strengthening their green skills for a remarkable difference in developing sustainable agriculture, and the sustainable management of our natural resources for food security.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us actively find the means and mechanisms for young entrepreneurs to promote wider application of modern energy saving systems for a greener transition for all families.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the United Seychelles and its leaders, I would like to appeal to the youths of Seychelles to not only celebrate the International Youth Day but to use this day for reflection on the chosen theme \u2013 as socio economic stability in order to strive towards a sustainable world needs all hands-on deck.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commend all the youths of Seychelles positively contributing to build a Nation of achievers and wish you continued success in your journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
