Seychelles country climate and development report

The report examines how Seychelles, a small island developing state, can balance economic development with climate change adaptation. It analyses the country’s vulnerabilities to climate risks such as sea-level rise, temperature increases, and storms, while exploring key sectors like tourism, energy, infrastructure, and the ocean economy.

The findings demonstrate that climate adaptation can support economic growth, job creation, and sustainability, but requires urgent investments and policy reforms. Strengthening resilience, especially in coastal areas and key economic sectors, is essential, alongside diversifying the economy and improving financing mechanisms to address increasing climate risks.
