A 9 13 Terms of Reference SIDS DOCK Executive Council

In the face of growing scientific evidence on the climate change impacts and the vulnerability of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), these countries need to act as the catalyst to prompt decisive actions at the global level to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The best option for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) in SIDS is through the transformation of the energy sector which can be done through a combination of continual improvements in energy efficiency, development of renewable energy resources, and conservation. In this regard, SIDS created an institutional mechanism to generate financial resources to help support the expected high cost of adaptation to climate change.
