This report provides an overview of 20 issues critical to the sustainable development of SIDS. The findings reveal that SIDS are faced with several serious environmental challenges, mostly related to climate change, including sea-level rise and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem goods and services. The report also describes opportunities that SIDS have to help them move towards a green economy. For example, they possess both unexploited terrestrial and oceanic natural resources such as minerals, potential pharmaceutical products, renewable energy resources and fish stocks. Renewable energy sources include wind, sun, ocean, wave, hydro and geothermal; and use of these resources offers an opportunity to widen access to sustainable energy and reduce the heavy costs of power. The report shows that SIDS have the potential to take a lead in defining models of sustainability and human well-being whilst moving towards a Green Economy.","author":"United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)","subject":"Climate Change","type":" Assesment Report","language":"English","publisher":"United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)","job_number":"","isbn":"","date":"2014","pdf_en":"-Emerging Issues for Small Island Developing States-2014Emerging issues.pdf","cover_img":"-Emerging Issues for Small Island Developing States-2014Cover_Foresight.jpg","key_words":"climate change ;\u00a0climate change adaptation ;\u00a0climate change mitigation ;\u00a0climate protection ; environmental protection; coast protection; coastal environment; marine ecosystem; marine environment; marine pollution; island; island ecosystem; sea level rise; sea level;  freshwater conservation; freshwater monitoring; freshwater resource; freshwater degradation;  biodiversity;  sea resource ; sea water protection ; land ; land management and planning ; energy management ; energy efficiency ;  water management ; water resources management ; waste management ; forest management ; forest resource ; international agreement ; hazard ; sustainable development ; Small Island Developing States (SIDS)","relation":"","pdf_ch":"-Emerging_Issues_for_Small_Isl.pdf","pdf_fr":"-Emerging_Issues_for_Small_Isl.pdf","pdf_es":"-Emerging_Issues_for_Small_Isl.pdf","pdf_ru":"-Emerging_Issues_for_Small_Isl.pdf","pdf_ar":"-Emerging_Issues_for_Small_Isl.pdf","coverage":"Cape Verde; Comoros; Guinea Bissau; Maldives; Mauritius; S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Principe; Seychelles; Singapore; Antigua and Barbuda; Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; Cuba; Dominica; Dominican Republic; Grenada; Guyana; Haiti; Jamaica; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Suriname; Trinidad and Tobago; Cook Islands; Fiji; Kiribati; Marshall Islands; Micronesia, Federated States of; Nauru; Niue; Palau; Papua New Guinea; Samoa; Solomon Islands; Timor-Leste; Tonga; Tuvalu; Vanuatu   Small Island Developing States (SIDS)","rights":"Access Open to Public","audience":"","disposal":"Permanent","hide":"0","source":"api"},{"id":"11335","title":"Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012","description":"This report is the most detailed and comprehensive study of its kind published to date \u2013 the result of the work of 90 experts over the course of three years. It contains the analysis of more than 35,000 surveys conducted at 90 Caribbean locations since 1970, including studies of corals, seaweeds, grazing sea urchins and fish. The results show that the Caribbean corals have declined by more than 50% since the 1970s. But according to the authors, restoring parrotfish populations and improving other management strategies, such as protection from overfishing and excessive coastal pollution, could help the reefs recover and make them more resilient to future climate change impacts. Key findings of the report: There has been a dramatic decline in Caribbean corals of more than 50% since the 1970s. The decline is not uniform and correlates only weakly with local extreme heating events, instead being mainly attributed to the severity of local stressors, in particular tourism, overfishing and pollution. Whilst climate change has badly affected Caribbean corals and continues to be a major threat, well-managed reefs have bounced back suggesting that climate change is not the main determinant of current Caribbean coral health and that good management practices can save larger areas of reef if tough choices are made. Loss of the two main grazers, parrotfish and sea urchin, has been a key driver of coral decline in the region as it breaks the delicate balance of coral ecosystems and allows algae to smother reefs The massive outbreak of coral diseases and mass die-off of sea urchin close to the Panama Canal suggest that the order-of-magnitude increase in bulk shipping in the 1960s and 1970s has introduced pathogens and invasive species that have since spread in the Caribbean. Recommendations made in the report: 1.\t\t Adopt conservation and fisheries management strategies that lead to the restoration of parrotfish populations and so restore the balance between algae and coral that characterises healthy coral reefs; 2.\t\t Maximise the effect of those management strategies by incorporating necessary resources for outreach, compliance, enforcement and the examination of alternative livelihoods for those that may be affected by restrictions on the take of parrotfish;  3.\t\t Consider listing the parrotfish in the Annex II and III of the SPAW Protocol (The Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife) in addition to highlighting the issue of reef herbivory in relevant Caribbean fisheries fora; 4.\t\t Engage with indigenous and local communities and other stakeholders to communicate the benefits of such strategies for coral reef ecosystems, the replenishment of fisheries stocks and communities","author":"Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network","subject":"Climate Change:- Environment Under Review:- Resource Efficency","type":" Assesment Report","language":"English","publisher":"Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network","job_number":"","isbn":"","date":"2014","pdf_en":"-Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012-2014Caribbean Coral Reefs - Status Report 1970-2012.pdf","cover_img":"-Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012-2014Caribbean_Coral_Reefs_-_Status_Report_1970-2012.png","key_words":"coast protection;\u00a0coastal area;\u00a0coastal ecosystem;\u00a0coastal environment;\u00a0marine conservation area;\u00a0marine ecosystem;\u00a0island ecosystem; coral; coral reef","relation":"","pdf_ch":"","pdf_fr":"","pdf_es":"","pdf_ru":"","pdf_ar":"","coverage":"Latin America and the Caribbean; Antigua and Barbuda; Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; Bermuda; Bonaire; British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands ; Colombia; Costa Rica; Latin America and the Caribbean; Small Island Developing States (SIDS)","rights":"Access Open to Public","audience":"","disposal":"Permanent","hide":"0","source":"api"},{"id":"11353","title":"Global Environment Outlook: small island developing states","description":"GEO SIDS Outlook is a contribution to the 2014 Third International UN Conference on Small Island Developing States, which has an overarching theme of the sustainable development of Small Island Developing States through genuine and durable partnerships.
