Small islands are particularly vulnerable to climate change and many are already pursuing climate resilient development pathways that enable integrated responses . Countries such as Belize have opted for a systems approach and are working across the sustainable development goals  to increase integration . This includes rethinking disaster reconstruction mechanisms in the Caribbean and introducing more diversified and sustainable tourism economies that can better withstand external shocks such as disruptions and loss of markets from COVID-19 . In the Seychelles, various government and tourism industry initiatives are focused on the promotion of sustainable tourism ventures that lower emissions, protect and promote biodiversity conservation , and are climate resilient . In 2016, the Seychelles signed the world's first nature-for-debt swap, wherein a non-governmental organisation  agreed to pay off Seychelles' public debt to the Paris Club  in return for the Seychelles government establishing marine conservation areas .
