Sustainable development of Small Island Developing States a global litmus test

Coping with climate change should be seen as more than just a question of survival for small island countries - the international community should view it as a challenge to take unified action and notch up efforts to shift to a sustainable model of development, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva said today.

"Climate change is happening before our eyes. Rising sea levels, higher air and sea surface temperatures, and changing rainfall patterns are affecting countries worldwide. But there is no doubt that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are more vulnerable," the FAO chief said during remarks delivered at the 3rd International UN Conference on SIDS in Apia, Samoa (1-4 September).

The Sustainable Intensification of Caribbean Fisheries and Aquaculture

In the Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) fisheries are vitally important for the livelihoods of the population. Many coastal communities depend on income and food from fisheries. In the whole Caribbean Region production has declined by 40 percent over the last two decades.

This programme for sustainable growth of the fisheries and aquaculture in the Caribbean SIDS could also be seen as part of the FAO Blue Growth Initiative, which aims to be a leading global programme supporting the sustainable harvesting and utilization of aquatic resources for food security and economic growth.

The FAO Global Blue Growth Initiative is composed of four key components: (i) marine and inland capture fisheries; (ii) aquaculture; (iii) livelihoods and foods systems; and (iv) economic growth from ecosystem services. These components are further described in this policy paper, with particular consideration being paid to their relevance for Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
