Sustainability and Small Island Developing States
Despite the challenges, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have rich ecological resources, marine and land biodiversity including beaches, coral reefs, rain-forests, rivers, and lakes.

Regarding sustainability, Governments of SIDS must face these realities and develop sustainable national strategic plans.
