Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>President Ramkalawan takes part in SDGs in Action Forum<\/p>\n

At the World Government Summit being held in Dubai, President Wavel Ramkalawan participated in a forum entitled Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Action under the theme: \u2018Scaling new Heights for the Future of Humanity\u2019.<\/p>\n

Moderated by the director general of the Prime Minister’s Office UAE, Vice-President of the Global Coucil on SDGS, H.E Abdulla Nasser Lootah, during discussions President Ramkalawan spoke of the importance of the SDGs for Seychelles.<\/p>\n

Under the Sub-theme ‘Innovation in Generating the Blue Economy’, the President shared with the audience the efforts of the Seychelles, a small island developing punching above its weight in the climate debate.<\/p>\n

He stressed on the country’s vulnerabilities despite having already delivered on most of the development goals.<\/p>\n

“Most Small Island Developing States (Sids), notably those of us situated in the Indian Ocean, have been blessed with an abundance of ocean and ocean-based resources. We might therefore be small island states, but we are in actuality large ocean states. Seychelles for instance constitutes of 99.9% ocean. This is why we have been prompted to relook at the way we conduct our socio-economic activities, and to adopt a shrewder approach which puts the ocean, which is our biggest asset, at the centre of our sustainable development aspirations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SDGs have become increasingly important now in the midst and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has aggravated our already fragile socio-economic status. It is to be noted that the pandemic has also created a more convincing business case for the development of our blue economy as it has given us hard proof that there is a dire need for us to become more self-sufficient and resilient to external shocks,\u201d said President Ramkalawan.<\/p>\n

During discussions, themed questions on the various sustainable goals linked to the Blue Economy such as SDG 2 – Zero Hunger, SDG 6 – Clean water and Sanitation, SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth, SDG13 – on Climate Action and SDG 14 – Life below water, were among some of the sustainable goals highlighted.<\/p>\n
