    Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are continuously under the threat from the adverse effects of climate change and land degradation impacts. Land degradation directly increases CO2 emissions, contributing to climate change and vice versa. The LDN Target Setting Programme (TSP) of the UNCCD has substantially contributed to land degradation receiving the policy attention and securing political commitments for addressing the obvious and immediate threats of climate change and natural disasters to SIDS. It has strengthened the availability and accessibility of data for assessing land degradation and enabled SIDS to set specific measurable science-based targets. LDN provides the framework for the sustainable development of human settlements in SIDS through policy, planning, design and regulatory instruments.

    The Global Action Programme on Food Security and Nutrition in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) addresses the need for a more integrated, multi-stakeholder approach to the particular challenges faced by SIDS in trying to achieve food security and nutrition. Stronger international and interregional partnerships are needed as a matter of priority. FAO plans to enhance the cohesion and coordination of global and regional support for food security, nutrition and sustainable development in SIDS to help governments bolster national policies and programmes and to ensure that SIDS’ needs and priorities are met in relevant global and regional policy processes.
