Small Island Developing States

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are small countries located on islands, often in regions like the Pacific, Caribbean, and Atlantic. They face unique challenges such as limited resources, vulnerability to climate change and rising sea levels, and economic dependence on tourism or exports. Despite their size, they play important roles in global issues like biodiversity and climate resilience. Many SIDS work together through international support and sustainable development efforts to address these challenges and promote their long-term well-being while protecting their fragile environments.
