Building TCI Climate Resilience!

This survey is part of the National Climate Change Adaptation Report, implemented by Insight Decision for the Government of the Turks and Caicos Islands under the EU Green Overseas (GO) Facility, managed by Expertise France.

Its purpose is to collect insights from institutions, private sector, and civil society partners on climate risks, adaptation priorities, and coordination needs across the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Your input will help strengthen evidence-based planning, improve stakeholder engagement, and guide the design of the country’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP).

🕒 Takes about 5 minutes
🔒 Confidential – responses will be analyzed collectively, without identifying individual participants.

Thank you for contributing your expertise to help build TCI’s climate resilience.
