The document summarizes key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I about climate trends and projections for small islands in the Western Indian Ocean. Past observations show decreases in rainfall in Mauritius and Reunion and generally weak rainfall trends in the Maldives. The report projects drier conditions in the future for the southern part of the Western Indian Ocean under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario. Warming trends that have already been observed in the region's islands are expected to continue in the coming decades.
