‘Opening of Training Workshop on Climate Smart Agriculture Policy & Carbon Balance Appraisal of Agriculture, Forestry & Land Use Projects and Policies’

 

 

 

 I proceeded to the launching of a workshop on Climate Smart Agriculture Policy and Carbon Balance Appraisal of Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use Projects and Policies ,that is related to an important issue that affects each and every individual in the world, namely climate change.  Mauritius has always benefited from the cooperation and support of its developmental partners in its progress towards economic prosperity and sustainable development. This is of particular importance in Government’s efforts to build national capacity to respond to the climate change challenge. I take this opportunity to thank the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) for this initiative to develop Mauritian capacity to help us deal with the impacts of climate change.
