The importance of documentation of adaptation (finance and support) interventions in SIDS is extremely necessary in this critical decade for climate action. Building on previous analysis, a new working paper from ECSIS scholars — Joan Talubo, Lei Ma, Carlon Mendoza, and Ibrahim Muhammad Shamsuddin — explores the extent a stocktake/documented adaptation interventions (support and finance) effectively and sustainably reduce SIDS’ vulnerability and increase their resilience. It also assesses to what extent the GST process prioritizes ease of access to adaptation finance for SIDS. Furthermore, the paper evaluates how the loss and damage fund will assist in reducing vulnerability and building resilience and adaptive capacity in SIDS.
