Seychelles to halt deforestation by 2030

Seychelles has signed a historic pact to halt and reverse loss and land degradation by 2030 at the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow on Tuesday, said State House.

President Wavel Ramkalawan signed the pact together with other heads of states and governments at the event on Forests and Land Use.

More than 100 world leaders have signed the pact in a deal hailed by some observers as one of the “first major outcomes” from the COP26 Climate Summit.
