AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoAlcohol & Health: A WHO-based ranking updated this year shows Seychelles is among the world’s heavier-drinking countries, tied at about 11.4 litres of pure alcohol per person (age 15+), following leaders like Romania, Georgia and Latvia—an important reminder for local alcohol harm prevention. Adolescent Nutrition: Seychelles adolescents are facing growing dietary challenges, with new WHO-linked Global School-Based Student Health Survey findings pointing to lunch skipping, heavy reliance on take-away foods and high sugar intake among students aged 11–17. Coral Recovery (Health of the Ocean): A coral restoration effort tied to Seychelles’ Assisted Recovery of Coral (ARC) programme is highlighted, using sexual reproduction to grow genetically diverse young corals—supporting long-term reef health that underpins coastal livelihoods and wellbeing. Climate & Health Funding: UN leaders warn that debt repayments and high borrowing costs are draining money from health and education in developing countries, with climate-vulnerable nations calling for grants and faster access to disaster finance. Measles Warning: Bangladesh’s measles outbreak—driven by falling vaccination coverage and vaccine hesitancy—serves as a stark warning for countries where routine immunisation is slipping.
