Synopsis

The president of Seychelles says that the world must take the needs of island nations seriously when it comes to the impact of climate change and rising sea levels. Wavel Ramkalawan told the BBC that they are already seeing some of the islands changing shape and some of the islands are losing so much landmass. He added that the wealthier nations need to step up their game. He says there should be a pause in oil exploration in the Pacific Ocean. He added that they have rather got to look at wind energy, solar energy - at what is natural and what is renewable.
