The Seychelles Conservation and Climate Change Adaptation Trust was established with a mission to empower the people of Seychelles to develop resilient ecosystems, communities, and economies. Through its grant-making and financial management, SeyCCAT provides the necessary resources to support conservation and climate adaptation projects that have a lasting impact.
Blue Grants Fund: SeyCCAT’s flagship funding program, the Blue Grants Fund, supports a diverse range of projects that advance marine and coastal conservation, sustainable use of ocean resources, and climate adaptation strategies. These grants are open to NGOs, government agencies, and community groups that have innovative ideas for protecting Seychelles’ marine environment.
Blue Bonds: SeyCCAT is internationally recognized for its pioneering Blue Bonds initiative, which links debt restructuring with sustainable marine resource management. This innovative financial instrument has enabled Seychelles to invest in the sustainable management of its vast ocean territory while protecting marine biodiversity.
Climate Adaptation Projects: In response to the growing threats posed by climate change, SeyCCAT funds projects that help communities and ecosystems adapt to changing environmental conditions. These projects range from coral reef restoration to sustainable agriculture practices that enhance food security.
Since its inception, SeyCCAT has played a transformative role in the conservation landscape of Seychelles. By mobilizing financial resources and fostering collaboration between stakeholders, SeyCCAT has enabled groundbreaking conservation and climate adaptation projects. The organization’s work not only contributes to the preservation of Seychelles’ natural heritage but also serves as a model for other island nations facing similar environmental challenges.
SeyCCAT invites individuals, organizations, and partners to join them in their mission to secure the future of Seychelles’ environment. Whether through applying for grants, partnering on projects, or supporting their initiatives, there are many ways to contribute to this vital cause.
