The Global Climate Change Alliance+ is the second installment of a worldwide initiative by the European Union that facilitates the sharing of knowledge around climate change globally. As part of the GCCA+, this project contributes to ensure that the people, economy and environment of Seychelles are able to adapt to and develop resilience to climate change and its effects, thereby safeguarding the sustainable development of the country. Specifically, by providing technical assistance in the implementation of the Seychelles Climate Change Strategy.
Climate change is an important topic for the Seychelles. Rises in sea level, temperature increases and other weather changes, and accelerated coastal erosion are all impacts of a changing environment. An environment which is so important for the country.
Over the next two years, the project will strengthen the climate change policy framework by improving climate governance, enhancing capacity to access and monitor climate finance, and building capacity for the Ministry of Environment, Energy & Climate Change (MEEC) and other key stakeholder to lead climate action. We have three climate change experts on staff full time, and a pool of local experts for capacity development support and the sharing of knowledge from other countries around the world.
