Sat, 11 February 2017 | Climate Change
After retiring from office as President of the Republic of Seychelles in October 2016, James Michel said he would create new programmes to reinforce his presidential legacy and his passion for the Blue Economy.
Having gained valuable experience about the Blue Economy during his time as president and having also penned the book entitled ‘Rethinking The Oceans – Towards the Blue Economy’, Mr Michel, this week, launched the James Michel Foundation (not to be confused with the Jj Spirit Foundation which is still in existence).
Guided by the commitment to promote the Blue Economy concept, the foundation will help educate people about the need to promote environmental protection and sustainable development.
Seychelles NATION met former President Michel this week for an interview in which he talks about the foundation itself, the Blue Economy concept and the need for sustainable development.
