Country status
in brief |
The Republic of
Seychelles acceded to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) on 22 September 1992, the second country to do so. The
main project executed was “Enabling Activities to Prepare the Initial
National Communications” to the UNFCCC. The Initial National
Communications have enabled Seychelles to focus on issues that link
climate change to sustainable development, a domain which was not given
attention before. This process has created awareness at all levels
within government, amongst local communities as well as NGOs and the
private sector. Seychelles is
currently finalising its Second National Communication. The activities
within the Second National Communication will contribute to putting
climate change issues higher on the national agenda through strengthened
cooperation and increased involvement of all relevant stakeholders in
the process. |
