What are SIDS?
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a group of 39 States and 18 Associate Members of United Nations regional commissions.
They are located in three regions: the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and South China Sea (AIS).
The population of all SIDS is 65 million, slightly less than 1% of the worldrCOs population, yet this group faces disproportionate social, economic, and environmental challenges due to their unique characteristics.
SIDS are some of the worldrCOs most disaster-prone countries.
They have high exposure and vulnerability to hazards such as cyclones, floods, droughts, sea-level rise, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
The disaster mortality rate in SIDS is more than double the global average, according to Sendai Framework Monitor data.
Disasters in SIDS affect a larger share of the population: on average, 18% of the total population is affected after each disaster in SIDS, compared to 6% in non-SIDS countries.
SIDS disaster costs are among the highest in the world, due to their size and remoteness, narrow resource base and the recurrence of more intense and frequent disasters while still recovering.
Over the past fifty years, SIDS have lost $153 billion due to weather, climate, and water-related hazards.
On average, SIDS experience 2.1 % of GDP loss due to disasters, whereas other countries face an average of 0.3 % of GDP.
Only 39% of SIDS have reported having a multi-hazard early warning system
From 2000 to 2020, extreme weather has already cost vulnerable island nations $141 billion rCo or about $2,000 per person
