The mobilisation centred on the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP 21) is an opportunity to highlight the vulnerability of environments and populations in the South in the face of climate warming. Some tropical regions are already suffering from its effects, with heat waves in the Sahel, disturbances to monsoon systems, the melting of the Andean glaciers, threats to biodiversity, a rise in sea level and other features. Research conducted by IRD and its partners provides key knowledge for better understanding of the complexity of these phenomena. This book is a synthesis in three parts: observing and understanding climate change, analysing its main impacts on environments and setting societies and national public policies at the heart of the climate challenge. Focused on the capacity for resilience of populations and ecosystems in the face of trends in the climate, the book explores solutions that reconcile mitigation and adaptation in response to climate change, conservation of the environment and a reduction of inequalities. The work is both well documented and explanatory, reviewing operations and the results of research that is firmly involved and interdisciplinary, closely associating partners in the North and the South.

Coastal zones are important issues in the international debate on the environment and sustainable development. The coastal zone in general consists of the interface between land and sea and in such an equation marine space and resources are as important as terrestrial ones. This means that small island developing states such as the Seychelles have a large coastal area to land mass ratio. As concisely as possible, this document reveals the status of all major and pressing issues revolving around the coastal zone and provides some suggestions on how to move forward. Firstly, the coastal zone of Seychelles is described and some parameters are presented to assist in a precise definition of the coastal zone. This chapter includes an overview of all the principal islands. Secondly, the major development opportunities and threats on the coastal zone of Mahe are outlined. These include tourism, commercial and manufacturing industries and ports. Fisheries and agriculture are presented in the chapter entitled natural resource use: threats and weaknesses. This chapter also outlines the use of geological resources such as sand. Since there are major threats to the integrity of the coastal zone, these are treated separately. These trends in environmental concern include biodiversity and the management of protected areas, coastal erosion, population and urban pressure and development on the outer islands. Climate change is a global worry and since a rising sea level and other phenomena associated with climate change could devastate the coastal zone; this issue is investigated in another chapter. Many projects impinging on the coastal zone are donor driven. Therefore, the status of these projects is examined. Management strengths and weaknesses are described with a view to promote Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). The necessary for ICZM and constraints hindering integrated approaches treated. Finally, some recommendations are outlined to provide some vitally needed to build a foundation for ICZM in Seychelles.

This book explores how vulnerable and resilient communities from SIDS are affected by climate change; proposes and, where possible, evaluates adaptation activities; identifies factors capable of enhancing or inhibiting SIDS people’s long-term ability to deal with climate change; and critiques the discourses, vocabularies, and constructions around SIDS dealing with climate change. The contributions, written by well-established scholars, as well as emerging authors and practitioners, in the field, include conceptual papers, coherent methodological approaches, and case studies from the communities based in the Caribbean Sea and the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. In their introduction, the editors contextualise the book within the current literature. They emphasise the importance of stronger links between climate change science and policy in SIDS, both to increase effectiveness of policy and also boost scholarly enquiry in the context of whose communities are often excluded by mainstream research. This book is timely and appropriate, given the recent commission by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of a Special Report that aims at addressing vulnerabilities, “especially in islands and coastal areas, as well as the adaptation and policy development opportunities” following the Paris Agreement. Coupled with this, there is also the need to support the policy community with further scientific evidence on climate change–related issues in SIDS, accompanying the first years of implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
