Your Voice for a Resilient TCI!

This short survey is part of the National Climate Change Adaptation Report, led by the Government of TCIwith support from the European Union’s Green Overseas (GO) Facility and Expertise France.

We want to hear your experiences and ideas about how weather and climate change affect your daily life — and what actions can make our island stronger, safer, and greener.

Your answers will help shape future climate-adaptation plans and protect communities across TCI.
