RESILIENCE OF SMALL ISLANDS
Advocating

for small islands

Resilient small islands, a key challenge
against an unsettling climate backdrop.

This is the imperative fixed by the meeting
organised by the NGO Green Ross and the

Monaco Scientific Centre on the premises
of the latter on Tuesday 22 March 2022.

The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the ability of small islands
to demonstrate resilience. Faced with the growing threat of climate change,
in particular rising sea levels, many experts were invited to highlight
the urgent situation of small islands, under the chair of Nicolas Imbert,
Executive Director of Green Ross.

“Small Island Developing States are
IN particularly vulnerable to climate change.”
