The challenge of diversification for our economies is contained within a wider challenge of the urgency of adapting to climate change and alleviating the risks it presents. @FIIKSA #FIO5

Thanks to strong policies and significant investment in forest governance, #Gabon is a net absorber of CO2.Each year, we absorb over a hundred million tons more than we emit.We want to transform this ecosystem service we provide to the world into Paris compliant carbon credits.

As I said a few years ago, we are past the time of debating. Today, I say that we are past the time of half-hearted measures. It is time for concrete action and results, as you have just demonstrated with your commitment to become carbon neutral. @FIIKSA #FII5
