The SIDS Suredis Newsletter #1 - January 2021

Our first SIDS Suredis Newsletter is an introduction about SIDS. It includes interviews with Arno Boersma of Island Impact and Cathryn MacCullum of Sazani Associates, and information about the Sustainability and Resilience of SIDS, and the wide-ranging impact of COVID-19.

Read Newsletter #1

The SIDS Suredis Newsletter #2 - March 2021

Our second SIDS Suredis Newsletter focuses on Disaster Risk and SIDS, in recognition of the sixth anniversary of The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (which was launched on 18 March 2015). The contents of this edition have a common theme: "What more can, and should be done to ensure SIDS can implement resilient and sustainable Disaster Risk practices?"

The SIDS Suredis Newsletter #3 - June 2021

Our third SIDS Suredis Newsletter focuses on SIDS and the tourism sector. We really appreciated the time of all our contributors towards this Newsletter.

Readers will note many linkages between Newsletter #2 (Disaster Risk focus) and this edition focusing on tourism.

Read Newsletter #3

The SIDS Suredis Newsletter #4 - August 2021

Our fourth SIDS Suredis Newsletter focuses on SIDS and the five Planet SDGs. A core theme of this edition is "interconnectedness" - because efforts to achieve the five Planet SDGs (and indeed the other 12 SDGs) are all interlinked, and cooperation across SIDS helps them collectively achieve more than they can do as individual states. As always, we greatly value the time of all our contributors to help us create this Newsletter.

Read Newsletter #4

The SIDS Suredis Newsletter #5 - October 2021

The fifth SIDS Suredis Newsletter focuses on SIDS and the Blue Economy. The islands that make up the network of SIDS (whilst remembering that the group also includes states that are joined to land masses) are, by their very nature, surrounded by water, and how they work and live with the seas and oceans that surround them is a crucial part of their identities and their economies. Climate change is having a major impact, and SIDS need action and can teach us valuable lessons about how to move forward to address climate change. We would like to thank our contributors in helping us create this Newsletter edition.

Read Newsletter #5

The SIDS Suredis Newsletter #6 - January 2022

For this “Look back at 2021 and Look ahead to 2022 edition” we have synthesised the information we have published into ten aspects, or themes, in an effort to provide a “pulse of what’s going on" and ideas to improve the resilience and sustainability of SIDS. These ten themes are not exhaustive in what they cover – we hope they outline some practical ideas for progress and change.
