SIDS (Small Island Developing States)
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a group of island nations that share similar development challenges due to their geographic isolation, small land areas, and vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters. These nations often face issues like limited resources, economic fragility, and dependence on imported goods. SIDS include countries like the Maldives, Fiji, and Barbados, which strive for sustainable development while navigating environmental threats. International cooperation and support are crucial for SIDS to enhance resilience, improve livelihoods, and protect their unique ecosystems.
