It also identifies priority projects, resources, and partners to achieve its goals of building disaster-resilient communities nationwide.
National plan climate changes resilience for smalls islandsFlorin777
Small islands are unique and largely self-contained ecosystems. Their existence owes much to their existing environmental endowment. Preparation and understanding what sustains islands, and how they will be affected by future climate changes is an important concern.
Two thirds of the countries with the highest disaster losses relative to GDP are small island states – with average annual losses between 1 and 9 percent of GDP. Losses of this magnitude are an enormous burden on a country’s budget and fiscal position, with serious consequences for growth and development prospects.
They therefore represent particularly fertile sites to look at the interplay of resilience, vulnerability and adaptation.

ActionAid is concerned about climate change because it disproportionately impacts the poorest and most vulnerable people, especially women and children in developing countries. Climate change reflects and reinforces existing inequalities. ActionAid takes a three-pronged approach to address climate change: adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and policy/campaign work. For adaptation, ActionAid works with communities to analyze vulnerabilities and support efforts to diversify livelihoods. For disaster risk reduction, ActionAid facilitates community analysis of vulnerabilities and increases resilience through schools and other capacity building. For policy, ActionAid advocates for emissions reductions in rich countries and more support for adaptation in poor countries.
