SIDS - Saving paradise - Ensuring sustainable development
Because of their geographical position, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are highly vulnerable to weather- and climate-related phenomena such as tropical cyclones, flooding and sea-level rise. Environmental degradation is another real threat to their water resources and coastal and marine ecosystems, while the economic mainstays of fishing and tourism are also at risk from these factors. This brochure explains the problems faced by SIDS and how meteorological and hydrological information can contribute to their sustainable development.
Climate knowlegde for adaptation and sustainable development
On this landmark occasion of the eleventh session of the Conference of the Parties (COP11) to the UNFCCC and the first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP1), this brochure aims at providing all stakeholders with information on how climate knowledge is used for enhancing adaptation to climate variability and change. Hence the theme for the brochure is ‘Enhancing climate knowledge to improve adaptation to climate variability and change’. The brochure highlights the real-life experience of NMHSs and collaborating organizat ...
