“Let’s be clear: it’s not a choice between health or jobs and the economy. They are interlinked: we will either win on all fronts or fail on all fronts,” -- @antonioguterres calls for a comprehensive global response to #COVID19.
At @ilo #GlobalSummit on #COVID19 and the World of Work, 🇸🇨President Danny Faure emphasized on severe economic impact on #Seychelles labour markets, esp. tourism industry & the need for sustainable, long term & inclusive solutions. Challenging times require transformative changes

#Seychelles celebrates #Constitution Day today. We hear a lot about how #pandemics like #COVID19 are partly due to our abuse of #Nature. Look at what Seychelles put in its bill of rights 27 years ago! How many #countries constitutionally protect the #environment as a #humanright?
At #UrgentDebate #HRC43, #Seychelles stated that racism has no place in a society based on tolerence, dignity and rule of law. It is time for us as countries, communities, businesses & individuals to reflect & put in place concrete paths of action to address systemic #racism – at Geneva, Switzerland

#WorldOceansDay: In the pursuit of economic prosperity, we have been too willing to sacrifice the health of our ocean, seas and coasts.
