This research paper describes the application of a participatory methodology to identify and address climate adaptation barriers in Seychelles. Through workshops involving the agriculture, fisheries, and tourism sectors, the study highlights a disconnect between national planning and local implementation, primarily driven by a lack of climate vulnerability data and the marginalization of local actors.

This policy brief from the GIVRAPD project examines climate change vulnerability in Seychelles, focusing on the intersection of integrated coastal planning and micro-finance. It details coastal vulnerability assessments on Mahe and La Digue, the role of participatory planning in overcoming adaptation barriers, and the potential for micro-insurance to support resource-dependent communities facing increasing weather-related disasters.
