Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a group of countries characterized by small land areas, a high reliance on marine resources, and vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters. These nations often face unique economic and environmental challenges due to their geographic isolation, limited resources, and susceptibility to rising sea levels and extreme weather. SIDS are typically located in the Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Oceans and include nations like Samoa, Maldives, and Barbados. International cooperation and support are essential for their sustainable development and resilience against environmental threats.
