Definition

  • Information Countries known collectively as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have in common their smallness and insularity which, often, also indicates their vulnerability. These small island and low-lying coastal countries are subject to structural vulnerability that affects their productivity, development and cooperation policies. Since SIDS were identified as a special group during the 1992 Earth Summit, a number of internationally agreed development goals have been formulated to address SIDS vulnerabilities and to build resistance and sustainability.
