4.  Narrow resource base  Small domestic markets  Heavy dependence on external and remote markets  Long distances from export markets and import resources

5.  Fragile natural environments  Climate Change: Existential Threat and Threat Multiplier  Little resilience to natural disasters  World Bank: 2/3 of countries with highest disaster losses relative to GDP are small island states

6.  The United Nations has been assisting and extending cooperation to SIDS through the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of SIDS finalized at the Global Conference held in Barbados in 1994, known also as the Barbados Programme of Action (BPOA). The Priority area of BPoA are: - Human Resource Development - Climate Change & Sea-level Rise - Management of waste - Energy Resources - etc

7.  The very survival of certain low- lying SIDS will be threatened.  Damage coral reefs and other fragile island ecosystem.  Increased frequency and intensity of storm events

8.  An international environmental treaty (currently the only international climate policy venue with broad legitimacy) negotiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992.  The objective of the treaty: "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system"

10.  An international agreement linked to the UNFCCC, which commits its Parties by setting internationally binding emission reduction targets.  The principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities.“  ROK: Non-Annex B parties without binding targets

12.  A crucial conference, as it needs to achieve a new international agreement on the climate (post-2020), applicable to all countries, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2degree

13.  The future agreement must equally on mitigation (i.e. reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and societies' adaptation to existing climate changes.  Intended Nationally Determined Contributions(INDC): Each country(including China, India and Korea) must publish its national contribution, presenting its national efforts, as soon as possible and before COP21.  Financial support for developing countries.  Implementing ambitious solutions.

15.  1. Should we put greater emphasis on sustainable development on developing countries or on environmental protection?  2. Are only developed countries responsible for climate change issues in regards to Kyoto protocol?
