🏝️ Island life sounds like a dream but in times of crisis, it can become a nightmare. Whether it's natural hazards 🌀 or a global pandemic 😷 small island developing States are often the hardest hit—especially economically as many rely on just 1 or 2 industries. ⛱️🎣 #SIDSStories

#SIDS Spotlight

Small island developing states such as #Mauritius are advancing their own solutions for resilience.

As the time nears to create a new #SIDS #sustainabledevelopment plan & address #climatecrisis at #SIDS 4, let us increase collaboration so no one is left behind!

#countdown Alert!

Just 8 more days until #SIDS4GenderEquality Forum kicks off at the historic Nelson Dockyard, Antigua and Barbuda!

UN Women Caribbean Deputy Rep Isiuwa Iyahen says the #SIDS4GenderEquality Forum provides a moment for experts to exchange experiences and better practices on data collection and analysis.

Climate Risk and Resilience is a main area of focus for small island developing states and will be an important talking point at the #SIDS4GenderEquality Forum because the data shows, that women are disproportionately affected by climate change.
