Pierre J. D., Tupsee R. S., Mungroo Z. B. A. (2025). Case Study of Human Rights and the Energy Transition in Seychelles.
These submissions were presented to the UN Special Rapporteur on Climate Change in response to a formal call for inputs on fossil fuel-based economies and human rights. Presented as parallel case studies of Mauritius and Seychelles, they examine the human rights dimensions of energy transition in SIDS — including economic dependency on fossil fuels, just transition obligations, community impacts, and the legal frameworks governing decarbonisation pathways. Both papers are hosted on the official OHCHR website. Relevant to climate lawyers, SIDS energy policy practitioners, and human rights and environment specialists.
