The Climate Crisis And Its Disproportionate Impact On Small Island Developing States (SIDS)
SIDS are highly vulnerable to climate change due to rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and dependence on climate-sensitive sectors like tourism and fisheries. SIDS face significant economic and environmental challenges, including high debt, weak financial resilience, inadequate infrastructure, and limited capacity to adapt to the changing climate. Despite their minimal contribution to global emissions, SIDS lead climate negotiations through alliances and advocacy.
