BackgroundSmall Island Developing States (SIDS) are extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss and displacement. In the absence of a concerted response, these effects could increase exponentially. Transformative innovations for climate action have been by and large happening in SIDS. The need to develop and implement climate and sustainable measures that cuts across sectors and address both mitigation and adaptation are not only imperative to their survival but practical given their circumstances. The Caribbean islands hold a diverse, rich and unique experiences in tackling climate change impacts which can be leveraged in convening and creating economies of scale towards climate resilient development. Meanwhile, the Pacific islands have become innovation hubs where climate strategies are piloted and refined to inform adaptation efforts globally. It provides important opportunities for testing and refining transformative innovations for climate action.
Objectives of the sessionShowcasing innovation taking place on the ground will help foster opportunities and support climate actions. The session will therefore spotlight various initiatives that are already implemented, with the objective to promote the possible transformation within SIDS via actual solution case-studies. |
