REQUIRED ACTIONS FOR THE SMALL ISLANDS INDEPENDENT STATES (SIDS)

  2. Commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to internationally agreed levels within an agreed time frame.
  3. Emphasize the collection of information on limited and biologically precious resources that are being threatened in SIDS.

ADVOCACY FOR SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES (SIDS)

The threat posed by rising sea levels has been the centre piece of climate change negotiations and is the main issue emphasized by Small Island Developing States, also known as the SIDS. SIDS are already threatened by escalating tides, cyclones, flooding, damaged crops, increased disease, the inundation of coastal areas and the loss of freshwater supplies. SIDS are indeed on the "front lines" of climate change.
