The climate of SIDS is influenced by large ocean-atmosphere interactions such as monsoons, tropical cyclones, and hurricanes.
Key Points:
- The climate of SIDS is influenced by large ocean-atmosphere interactions such as monsoons, tropical cyclones, and hurricanes.
- These climate characteristics, combined with their socioeconomic situations make SIDS some of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change.
- This, added to the fact that SIDS produce such extremely low levels of greenhouse gas emissions, means that they suffer disproportionately from the damaging impacts of climate change.
- So far, the country has been providing climate-resilient houses, hospitals, and health care facilities, and hurricane shelters in all communities island wide.
