AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoOcean Health & Climate Resilience: A South-West Indian Ocean climate outlook warns Seychelles and neighbours to prepare for multiple hazards this season—drought and water stress in the south, flooding and landslides in wetter areas, and island risks including extreme heat, heavy rain, marine impacts and tropical cyclones—pointing to knock-on effects for agriculture, food security, health, fisheries and ecosystems. Marine Conservation: A new push for regional ocean protection highlights that sea turtles and other migratory species can’t be safeguarded by one country alone, stressing shared financing and cross-border cooperation across the Western Indian Ocean. Wellness Trends in the Indian Ocean: National Geographic Traveller spotlights a shift from “spa day” wellness to landscape-led rituals—full-moon gatherings, ocean-tide practices, traditional healing and deeper body screening—featuring Seychelles among the destinations. Alcohol & Public Health: A WHO-based ranking puts Romania, Georgia and Latvia at the top for alcohol intake, with Seychelles also listed among the higher-consumption countries. Local Health Context: Seychelles is also linked to broader regional development and health financing debates, as climate-vulnerable nations argue that disaster recovery should not push them deeper into debt.
