Opportunity abounds amidst the converging crises facing Small Island Developing States (SIDS)—from the impacts of climate change to the economic fallout of COVID-19 and looming debt challenges. Despite the adversity, these islands are poised at a critical juncture where bold actions can catalyze positive change.
The pandemic’s blow to tourism, a cornerstone of many island economies, has laid bare vulnerabilities, leaving fiscal deficits and stalling progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. Concurrently, the escalating frequency of climate-related catastrophes accentuates the urgent need for action, with SIDS disproportionately bearing the brunt despite their minimal contribution to global emissions.
However, within this crucible of challenges lies the chance for collective action and innovation. In May 2024, Antigua and Barbuda will host a pivotal gathering of the international community. Here, stakeholders will convene to not only assess SIDS’ sustainable development strides but also chart a visionary course for the coming decade. It’s a moment ripe for forging robust partnerships and unveiling solutions to propel these islands toward resilient prosperity.
Amidst this event, the Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator (CCSA) will co-host a significant side event. At this gathering, the much-anticipated Climate Smart Map will be launched, symbolizing a crucial step forward in equipping SIDS with innovative tools to navigate the challenges ahead.

Regional Collaboration Centre for the Caribbean | RCC Caribbean
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face severe vulnerabilities to climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and displacement. Without a unified response, these challenges could escalate exponentially.
Fortunately, transformative innovations for climate action are flourishing within SIDS. Developing and implementing climate and sustainable measures that span sectors, addressing both mitigation and adaptation, is not only crucial for their survival but also practical given their circumstances.
The Caribbean islands, with their diverse and rich experiences in confronting climate change impacts, offer a unique opportunity to convene and create economies of scale for climate-resilient development. Simultaneously, the Pacific islands have emerged as innovation hubs where climate strategies are piloted and refined, providing vital insights for global adaptation efforts.
SIDS possess remarkable innovation, creativity, and unique capabilities that hold immense potential to accelerate climate action. By showcasing this information, we aim to foster opportunities and provide support for impactful climate actions.
