Seychelles: economic and climate justice

Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands with just 98 000 citizens. Seychelles has the highest GDP per capita in Africa at $12.3-billion. The small island state is highly dependent on tourism. Climate change poses long-term sustainability risks.

Sea level rise, storm and tidal surges, extreme sea surface temperatures, and coastal flooding will have serious consequences for livelihoods in the Seychelles. Changes in long-term rainfall patterns and temperatures will also have adverse consequences for water, food and health.
