Climate action in Small Island Developing States

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because of their small geographical area, isolation, and limited natural resources. Rising sea levels and increasingly frequent extreme weather events pose a serious threat to both people and the ecosystems they depend on for their livelihoods and well-being.

Investing in climate-resilient agriculture is key to increasing the food, nutrition and water security of vulnerable communities in SIDS. FAO works with SIDS to catalyse climate finance for transformative Green Climate Fund (GCF) projects that enhance climate resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
