The Seychelles president is warning there's no time for a "blame game" in the fight against climate change and he urges major nations to do more.
President Danny Faure in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press says small island nations like his are the least responsible for the problem but among the most vulnerable as sea levels rise.
"The science is clear," he said. "The scientists have spoken. We all know that we have a problem. What is needed is responsible global action."
"A total of 25,750 kilograms of marine debris was collected, out of which 50,000 single flip flops," Faure said. "It just shows you the amount of pollution caused by marine debris to one of the pristine sites that we have."
