为小岛屿发展中国家挺身而出：开发署在未来十年支持小岛屿发展中国家的战略

Rising upUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME for SIDS UNDP’s Strategy toSupport SIDS in theNext Decade Rising up for SIDSStrategy Snapshot Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face unique challenges due to their small size, isolation, andvulnerability to environmental and economic disruptions. But SIDS area also biodiversity hotspots, host-ing valuable ecosystems and diverse cultural traditions that underpin resilience and development. Theymanage large Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) that harbour extensive marine resources, which directlysupport food security and other economic sectors. SIDS hold enormous potential for renewable energy,particularly solar, wind, and geothermal. Across regions, SIDS are pioneering nature-based climate solu-tions and digital innovation. With the adoption of the “Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS” (ABAS) in May 2024, a set of ten keyinterconnected and mutually reinforcing development priorities have been agreed for the next decade.UNDP’s Rising Up for SIDS Strategy, building on its achievements of the past years, will continue to liftan integrated UNDP-wide response offer to meet the ABAS ambition and targets. UNDP has a long-standing partnership with SIDS through its global, regional and six multi-country and 15 country offices.UNDP’s "Rising Up for SIDS" Strategy transforms vulnerabilities into opportunities to achieve sustainableand inclusive development. The ABAS encompass actions across the three pillars of sustainable development — on the economy,on nature, and on people. UNDP aligns its support by leveraging coordinated and synergistic efforts atcountry, regional, and global levels: On the Economy: ▪Economic Resilience: Strengthening economic structures and sectors to withstand externalshocks and promote sustainable growth, while advocating for International Financial Archi-tecture Reform.▪Disaster Risk Reduction: Enhancing preparedness and resilience against natural disastersthrough improved infrastructure and early warning systems.▪Energy Transition: Investing in renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on fossilfuels, while freeing up public budget for social and economic investments. On Natureand Climate: ▪Climate Action and Support: Implementing robust climate adaptation and mitigation strate-gies, with a focus on securing adequate financing.▪Biodiversity Action: Protecting and restoring unique biodiversity and ecosystems for liveli-hoods, and resilience.▪Ocean Conservation and Sustainable Use: Sustainably managing marine resources topreserve ocean health and ensure food security. On People: ▪Secure, Safe and Healthy Societies: Promoting security and human rights, public health,and social services to improve quality of life.▪Productive Populations: Investing in human capital to enhance skills, employment opportu-nities, and economic inclusivity.▪Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Promoting adapted solutions, includingwomen’s economic empowerment. On means of implementation Effective implementation of the ABAS will depend on the adequate and timely availability of means ofimplementation, leveraging global support and resources including financing, innovative and digitalsolutions, and an enabling infrastructure for data collection and utilization. Governanceand capableinstitutions are cross-cutting enablers that underpin the means of implementation. ▪Finance for Development: Support countries to improve the efficiency and impact of develop-ment financing, ensuring that resources meet SIDS’ sustainable development goals, and scaleup biodiversity and climate-related financing.▪Innovation and Digitalization: Leveraging digital public infrastructure to identify innovative solu-tions and improve connectivity and utilization of AI.▪Data Collection and Utilization: Developing robust data systems to inform policy decisions andtrack progress, including strengthening national institutions.▪Partnerships: Fostering collaborations at local, regional, and international levels to mobilizeresources and share best practices, including fostering South-South Cooperation and privatesector engagement. Building Small IslandResilient Economies01 SIDS are under enormous debt pressure The current international financial architecture is not su¬fficiently responsive to the challenges faced bySIDS. Despite upper-middle income and high-income status, SIDS are constrained by debt, and obsta-cles to accessing new sources of development and climate financing. Over 40% of SIDS are grapplingwith, or are on the edge of, unsustainable levels of debt, severely constraining their ability to invest inresilience, climate action and sustainable development. SIDS’ economic resilience is weakened by reliance on imports and tourism, with 42% of export revenuesfrom tourism compared to 11% in other developing countries. Limited land for food and energy produc-tion heightens vulnerability to external shocks like climate change, financial crises, and pandemics. To overcome economi
