"No Island left behind" 1 International Conference on Broadcast Media & Climate Change: A Public Service Remit Case of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) 4 th – 5 th September 2009, UNESCO Headquarters, Paris, France

"No Island left behind"2 Outline: Case of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) circumstances Our vulnerability: Sea level rise, Drought, Vector borne disease, Natural disasters, Economy Challenges of Reporting on Climate Change Our identity: A way forward to saving our home

Small Island Developing States Circumstances:

"No Island left behind"4 Small Island Developing States Circumstances: Groups of islands spread throughout in the Pacific; Land topography: Majority are below 10m above sea level and are isolated by the sea; Made up of various geological island types: volcanic, high limestone, low limestone, atolls, and a combination of volcanic and limestone and; Climate: tropical rainy climate;

"No Island left behind"5 SIDS Vulnerability to Climate Change

"No Island left behind"6 Sea level rise : Flooding / Saltwater intrusion High tide (October 2007) Saltwater intrusion (taro patches)

"No Island left behind"7 Drought : Water shortage / Coral bleaching Water reservoir El Nino 1997/1998

"No Island left behind"8 Vector borne diseases Outbreak of waterborne diseases Dengue cases VBDs Dengue Source: Division of Environmental Health Dengue fever. A warmer climate increases occasions of vector borne tropical diseases. Presence of dengue virus, mosquito vector, and exposed human populations are required for disease transmission.

"No Island left behind"10 Our Economy 10 Taro plays an important role in food security, customs, and cultural identity. Agro-Tourism is currently being promoted as a sustainable source of income. Agriculture represents an estimated 5% of GDP as a commercial YEARkukaupraktotal ,72371,526145, ,15713,40476, ,54519,95744, , ,563 Amount of taro sold in pounds

"No Island left behind"11 Challenges of Reporting on Climate Change: Coordination & Collaboration of international dialogue to local awareness; Monitoring & Linking the scientific data into the local impacts of climate change; Mitigation and adaptation of Climate Change activities and; Reporting on climate change without adequate financial and technical resources.

"No Island left behind"12 Our identity: a way forward to saving our home The road to Copenhagen: May it pave the way to concrete reduction of greenhouse emissions; Climate Change Mitigation, Adaptation and Implementation of Action Plans in a reasonable and timely manner for SIDS and; Stronger media coverage on international and local level to raise Climate Change awareness.
