In Réunion, drought and climate change adaptation
Early November 2026, as the cyclone season approaches, Réunion is facing rising temperatures and a drought episode, prompting institutions and citizens to question adaptation. On November 4, the drought leads to increasing water restrictions in Saint-Joseph, in the south of the island, where residents and professionals are adapting with tanks and bottles. On November 11, the quality of water distributed in Saint-Laurent deteriorates, tap water becoming saltier, while the island is already experiencing water cuts.
