Country Profile: Seychelles
| Our database enables you to generate a country profile for each of the 196 UN member states that identifies the commitments and position statements each country has already made in favor of integrating human rights considerations in climate action.
All UN members have existing human rights obligations in the context of climate change, and the vast majority of governments have already called for a better integration of human rights in climate responses. |

We invite you to explore the database and to find out how specific countries have taken positions in favor of this integration.
