THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT OF SIDS

The Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a group of nations that constantly faced climate hazards due to the irresponsible and constant greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions, creating a disproportionate imbalance of consequences and responsibilities between significant and small issuers. The possibility of implementing a mitigation and adaptation project considers a certain amount of financial aid, but it does not study the challenges behind building an effective network between new technology and the local community. The path that delineates the number of emissions of GHG gives a clear panorama on the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that will be emitted on different socio-economic scenarios with different consumption and production behaviors and the implementation of climate public policies. Finally, the proper inclusion of the local community into decisions related to climate change adaptation, resilience strategies and economic growth create a synergy between the international community expectations on how a strategy should be implemented and what the local community needs.
