AOSIS (Alliance of Small Island States)

AOSIS, or the Alliance of Small Island States, is a coalition of countries that are particularly vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels, primarily because they are small islands. Formed in 1990, it aims to advocate for the interests of its member states in international discussions, especially regarding sustainable development and climate action. AOSIS plays a critical role in raising awareness about the unique challenges faced by island nations and seeks to influence global policies to protect their environments, economies, and communities from the impacts of climate change.
