With rising sea levels and increasing natural disasters, SIDS, which contribute less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, are among the most vulnerable regions on the planet. Small island countries lead by example and show true resilience, yet they still need support. What is being done to help them in their energy transition and what more can we do?
